Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. From a total of 8026 people (44.3% women, median follow-up time = 756 days), SGLT2i (n = 4231), compared to GLP-1RAs (n = 3795), reduced MACE rates in men (sHR 0.78; 95%CI 0.66-0.93), but not women.

  2. Strong Association between Plasma Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Activity and Impaired Cognitive Function in Elderly Population with Normal Glucose Tolerance

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2017-07-26 Drug development

    Participants in the upper quartile of plasma DPP4 activity had higher C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), 8-iso-PGF2a, nitrotyrosine, and lower GLP-1 and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores compared with those in the lowest quartile ( P < 0.001).

  3. Regional glucose metabolic abnormalities are not the result of atrophy in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurology 1998-06-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Reduced glucose metabolism measured by PET in AD is not simply an artifact due to an increase in CSF space induced by atrophy, but reflects a true metabolic reduction per gram of tissue.
