Comment | As insulin directly stimulates Lep release by adipose tissue, Lep feeds back to reduce both insulin secretion and insulin gene expression in beta-cells by modulation of K+ ATP channels and activation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 3B and subsequent suppression of cAMP levels. The suppressive effect of Lep on insulin production is not only mediated by direct actions via Lep receptors (LepR) on beta-cells, but also by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Lep-dependent ANS regulation of body weight is largely achieved via a negative afferent loop involving the hypothalamus. |

Comment | The complexity of AD pathology is illustrated by the fact that apart from clear links between AD and obesity, weight loss is another prominent early feature of AD that often precedes cognitive decline and clinical diagnosis. In fact, pathologically low Lep levels and disruptions in orexigenic NPY hypothalamic neuron signalling were described in a mouse model overexpressing Abeta, suggesting that Lep regulation may be involved. |

Comment | One of the roles of amylin is to slow gastric emptying, thereby delaying the delivery of nutrients to the circulation. A second effect is to decrease food intake, and a third effect is to reduce postprandial hyperglucagonemia, thereby inhibiting hepatic glucose release. Despite the beneficial effects of amylin in the CNS, it has also been shown to induce neurotoxicity in embryonic rat hippocampal primary cultures in vitro. This effect may contribute to the prominent neurite degeneration in AD. |

Comment | The mammalian mTOR plays a key role in maintaining energy homeostasis in the brain and other tissue types. As an energy sensor, mTOR regulates numerous cellular pathways including protein translation, cell growth and proliferation. In fact, mTOR mediates the synthesis and aggregation of Tau, resulting in compromised microtubule stability. mTOR has been shown to modulate insulin signalling in a context of high nutrient exposure. mTOR directly phosphorylates the insulin receptor leading to its internalization; this, in turn, results in a decrease of mTOR signalling. However, through the same mechanisms, chronic mTOR hyperactivity leads to insulin resistance, a key feature of T2DM. |

Comment | mTOR has been shown to modulate insulin signalling in a context of high nutrient exposure. mTOR directly phosphorylates the insulin receptor leading to its internalization; this, in turn, results in a decrease of mTOR signalling. However, through the same mechanisms, chronic mTOR hyperactivity leads to insulin resistance, a key feature of T2DM. |

Comment | Previous data suggest that AMPK can also phosphorylate substrates like Tau proteins, thereby favouring their aggregation. Phosphorylated Tau becomes soluble and causes microtubule disassembly. In extreme cases, including in AD, hyperphosphorylation of Tau leads to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles. |

PGC-1alpha appears to decrease Abeta generation, therapeutic modulation of PGC-1alpha could have real potential as a treatment for Alzheimer disease.

Comment | It is becoming apparent that neuroendocrine hormones including oxytocin, progesterone and prolactin (PRL), apart from their roles in lactation, may also have neuroprotective effects on hippocampal neurons. Among the pituitary hormones, PRL is the most versatile in the spectrum and number of functions it regulates. PRL modulates virtually every aspect of vertebrate physiology, including osmoregulation, growth, metabolism, development, reproduction, parental behaviour, and immune function. In mammals, this hormone may act in cooperation with Lep to transfer information to the brain about the caloric state of the animal. It has been shown that PRL prevents the damaging effects of excitotoxicity in the dorsal hippocampus. |
