日本研究人员近日报告,患有胰岛素抵抗和2型糖尿病的人,更有可能在脑中形成与老年痴呆症有关的斑块。这项研究涵盖了日本福冈久山的135名老人。研究人员在研究开始时,对这些老人的血糖水平进行了检查,然后用10到15年的时间检测他们的老年痴呆症迹象。在这些老人去世后,研究人员对他们的大脑进行了解剖并发现了斑块,尤其是那些生前血糖水平较高的老人更容易出现这种斑块。 Japanese researchers recently reported that people with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease in the brain. The study covers 135 elderly people in Fukuoka, Japan. At the beginning of the study, the researchers examined the blood glucose levels of these elderly people and tested them for 10 to 15 years with signs of Alzheimer’s disease. After the death of the elderly, the researchers dissected their brains and found plaques, especially those who had high blood sugar levels during their lifetime.
