摘要: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the major risk factors associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent studies have found similarities in molecular mechanisms that underlie respective degenerative developments two diseases. Pharmacological agents, such as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which increase level glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and ameliorate T2D, become valuable candidates modifying agents treatment AD. In addition, endogenous GLP-1 levels decrease amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide tau phosphorylation The present study examines efficacy Saxagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor streptozotocin (STZ) induced rat model Three months following induction AD by intracerebral administration streptozotocin, animals were orally administered Saxagliptin (0.25, 0.5 1 mg/kg) for 60 days. effect on hippocampal levels, Aβ burden, phosphorylation, inflammatory markers memory retention evaluated. results reveal an attenuation Aβ, improvement treatment. This remarkable therapeutic mediated through inhibition demonstrates unique mechanism clearance increasing reverses behavioural deficits pathology observed
