    GLP can influence the change in hippocampus cells extensions and finally influence their cognitive function by activating the EPK signal transduction pathway of hippocampal neuron in the central nervous system.

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with progressive dementia accompanied by two main structural changes in the brain: intracellular protein deposits termed neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) and extracellular amyloid protein deposits surrounded by dystrophic neurites that constitutes the senile plaques.

  3. Lithium therapy and signal transduction

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Trends in pharmacological sciences 2000-02-01 Drug development

    Lithium is the simplest therapeutic agent available for the treatment of depression and has been used for over 100 years, yet no definitive mechanism for its effect has been established.
