  1. The relationship of insulin resistance and diabetes to tau PET SUVR in middle-aged to older adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-03-17 Biomarkers

    Neither HOMA-IR nor diabetic status was significantly associated with tau PET SUVR.

  2. Glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and pathological features of Alzheimer disease in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. JAMA neurology 2013-09-01 Brain scans and imaging

    In this prospective cohort with multiple assessments of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, measures of glucose and insulin homeostasis are not associated with AD pathology and likely play little role in AD pathogenesis.

  3. The role of insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease: implications for treatment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. CNS drugs 2003-01-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    An emerging body of evidence suggests that an increased prevalence of insulin abnormalities and insulin resistance in Alzheimer's disease may contribute to the disease pathophysiology and clinical symptoms.
