  1. Exendin-4 Improves Cognitive Function of Diabetic Mice via Increasing Brain Insulin Synthesis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Current Alzheimer research 2021-01-01 Drug development

    This study demonstrated that Ex-4 improved cognition function by promoting brain insulin synthesis followed by the activation of brain insulin signaling and alleviation of tau hyperphosphorylation.

  2. Porphyromonas gingivalis (W83) Infection Induces Alzheimer's Disease-Like Pathophysiology in Obese and Diabetic Mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2021-01-01 Drug development

    P. gingivalis W83 infection of db/db mice provides a disease co-morbidity model with the potential to reproduce AD pathophysiology with induced periodontal disease.

  3. Exenatide upregulates gene expression of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and nerve growth factor in streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced diabetic mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Fundamental & clinical pharmacology 2017-11-20 Drug development

    Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that has modulating effects on insulin release.
