UTSW Study Links Alzheimer's-Related Protein To Diabetes And Obesity
A new study found a protein linked to Alzheimer’s Disease also contributes to problems with diabetes and obesity.
It’s called the amyloid precursor protein or APP. That’s the same amyloid believed to form plaque that may cause cognitive decline. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, found APP occurs in far higher levels in the fat cells of mice and humans who are obese. Follow the link to read more
