Dementia associated to diabetes: prevention through the modulation of cerebrovascular integrity
Description: Diabetic insulin resistance is reported to induce cognitive decline and dementia. An accumulating body of evidence suggest that compromised integrity of neurovascular unit and following changes in cerebral lipid homeostasis may be centrally involved in the neurodegeneration and cognitive deficits. Therefore, the project aims to prevent the insulin resistance-associated cognitive impairment by modulating the integrity of cerebrovasculature and lipid homeostasis.
