Diabetes Treatment Shown to Improve Memory For Alzheimer’s Patients | WebProNews: A new study shows that a drug used to treat insulin resistance in diabetics could improve cognitive performance in some people with Alzheimer’s disease.
In the study, published this week in the Journal of Neuroscience, the drug rosiglitazone was used on mice that have been genetically engineered to serve as models for Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that treatment with the drug improved learning and memory in the mice, while it also normalized insulin resistance.
(Note: this happens to be a dangerous drug with a lot of side effects for some.)
