...ba href=/dementia/a/b and has long been recognized as an early abnormality in Alzheimer's.

The enzyme that makes acetylcholine, choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), was previously found to be regulated by insulin and IGF-1.

In brains with Alzheimer's, impairment of insulin and IGF-1 signaling mechanisms correlate with deficits in acetylcholine production.

In this study, ChAT was markedly reduced in the experimental Alzheimer's model."Our previous work has shown that many of the important features of Alzheimer's - such as the accumulation of phosphorylated tau and the death of neurons - were somehow linked to insulin deficiency in the brain.

This study shows that insulin is the controlling factor in all of these features of Alzheimer's disease," de la Monte said."The evidence suggests that impaired insulin and IGF-1 signaling must be addressed in order to make significant progress in the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease," she said.
