Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE There are many similar pathophysiological processes and molecular pathways between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and pharmacologic agents used to treat T2DM, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs, seem to be beneficial for AD. mTOR mediates the effects of GLP-1 analogs in the treatment of T2DM; hence, I hypothesize that mTOR is a key molecule for mediating the protective effects of GLP-1 for AD. 28540646 2017

Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE These results indicated that CJC-1131 protected the cognitive function and synaptic plasticity of rats against Aβ-induced impairments, suggesting that GLP-1 analogue CJC-1131 might be potentially beneficial to the prevention and treatment of AD, especially those with T2DM or blood glucose abnormality. 28315374 2017

Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The incretins glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are growth factors that have shown neuroprotective effects in animal models of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. 28223210 2017
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE However, the specific actions of GLP-1 in the AD brain are not fully understood. 29165354 2017
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Growing evidence suggests that endogenous peptides such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and stromal-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) provide neuroprotection across a range of experimental models of AD. 28747063 2017
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Here we show for the first time the potential neuroprotective effect of a novel dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist (DA-JC4) in the icv. streptozotocin (STZ)-induced AD rat model.Treatment with DA-JC4 (10nmol/kg ip.) once-daily for 14days after STZ intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration significantly prevented spatial learning deficits in a Y- maze test and Morris water maze tests, and decreased phosphorylated tau levels in the rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus. 28342971 2017
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Preclinical studies have pointed to glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptors as a potential novel target in the treatment of AD. 27421117 2016
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Based on these findings, several ongoing clinical trials are testing long lasting insulin analogues or GLP-1 mimetics in patients with AD. 24259244 2013
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Herewith, we aim to integrate the available data on the metabolic and neuroprotective effects of GLP-1 mimetics in the central nervous system (CNS) with the complex crosstalk between T2D-AD, as well as their potential therapeutic value against T2D-associated cognitive dysfunction. 23314196 2013
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Encapsulated native and glucagon-like peptide-1 transfected human mesenchymal stem cells in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. 21507341 2011
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our results show that liraglutide prevents key neurodegenerative developments found in Alzheimer's disease, suggesting that GLP-1 analogs represent a novel treatment strategy for Alzheimer's disease. 21525299 2011
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Genetic analyses in Caenorhabditis elegans demonstrate that sel-12 and hop-1, homologues of the Alzheimer's disease-associated presenilin genes, modify signaling through LIN-12 and GLP-1, homologues of the Notch cell surface receptor. 10077672 1999
