Alzheimer’s Disease and Obesity

Research has highlighted the role of adipokines, signaling molecules secreted by adipose tissue, in both metabolic dysregulation associated with obesity and the neurodegenerative processes underlying AD. Key adipokines include leptin, which has neuroprotective effects, adiponectin, which has anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing properties, and resistin, which is implicated in insulin resistance and may contribute to neuroinflammation and [...]
