Abstract

There is a large unmet medical need to find disease modifying therapies against neurodegenerative diseases. This review summarizes data indicating that insulin resistance occurs in neurodegeneration and strategies to normalize insulin sensitivity in neurons may provide neuroprotective actions. In particular, recent preclinical and clinical studies in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease have indicated that glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) agonism and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibition may exert neuroprotection. Mechanistic insights from these studies and future directions for drug development against neurodegeneration based on GLP1 agonism are discussed.

Keywords: Alzheimer's disease; GLP1; Insulin; Neurodegenerative diseases; Parkinson's disease.
