Alzhemier disease is a multiple gene expression disease and is not caused by one single or multiple gene mutation and insulin actually worsens the disease. DM Diabetic patients have frequent hypoglycemic episodes will eventually develop Alzheimer's disease ! So be carefully what you watch on You Tube !

Intereting. so if we can find a way to get insulin to the brain cells we can possibly relieve the symptoms of alzheimer. hmm...i wonder how scientists are planning on doing this.

No one ever cares about the mice with Alzheimer's that this will help. They've been dealing with all the same problems we have, except transvestism, but we all know insulin ain't gonna help that!

Your concern is correct, Robert. The challenge here will be to find drugs that act selectively at the insulin receptors of the brain.
