Insulin and Glucose Uptake in the Brain: Implications for Alzheimer's and Diabetes

Glucose uptake into the brain can be measured/nInsulin is required for glucose uptake in certain parts of the brain/nInsulin moves glucose into the muscle/nInsulin resistance leads to reduced glucose uptake in the brain and muscles/nAlzheimer's is linked to reduced glucose metabolism in the hippocampus/nNeurons in Alzheimer's patients aren't making as much energy/nMitochondria in Alzheimer's patients aren't making ATP
