Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder associated with cognitive impairment. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and its receptor (GLP-1R) have shown neuroprotective effects.
This review explores the impact of DM on cognitive function. Diabetes-related cognitive impairment is divided into three stages: diabetes-associated cognitive decrements, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. GLP-1R agonists (GLP-1RAs) have many functions, such as neuroprotection, inhibiting infection, and metabolic regulation, and show good application prospects in improving cognitive function. The mechanisms of GLP-1RAs neuroprotection may be interconnected, warranting further investigation. Understanding these mechanisms could lead to targeted treatments for diabetes-related cognitive dysfunction.
Therefore, this paper reviewed the regulatory effects of GLP-1 on cognitive dysfunction and its possible mechanism. Further research is required to fully explore the potential of GLP-1 and its analogs in this context.
糖尿病(DM)是一种与认知障碍相关的代谢紊乱疾病。胰高血糖素样肽-1(GLP-1)及其受体(GLP-1R)已显示出神经保护作用。
本综述探讨糖尿病对认知功能的影响。糖尿病相关的认知障碍分为三个阶段:糖尿病相关的认知功能减退、轻度认知障碍(MCI)和痴呆。GLP-1受体激动剂(GLP-1RAs)具有多种功能,如神经保护、抑制感染和代谢调节,在改善认知功能方面显示出良好的应用前景。GLP-1RAs神经保护的机制可能相互关联,值得进一步研究。了解这些机制可能会为糖尿病相关的认知功能障碍带来针对性的治疗方法。
因此,本文综述了GLP-1对认知功能障碍的调节作用及其可能机制。在这方面,需要进一步研究以充分探索GLP-1及其类似物的潜力。
