    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Frontiers in pharmacology 2023-09-13 Drug development

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the nervous system.

  2. Glucagon-like peptide 1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide hormones and novel receptor agonists protect synapses in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in synaptic neuroscience 2022-07-27 Drug development

    Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) are peptide hormones and growth factors.

  3. Brain insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 and glucagon-like peptide 1 signalling in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of neuroendocrinology 2021-03-19 Drug development

    Although the brain was once considered an insulin-independent organ, insulin signalling is now recognised as being central to neuronal health and to the function of synapses and brain circuits.
