Abelmoschus esculentus (Okra) Prevents Insulin Resistance and Restores Neuron Autophagy by Regulating Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 and Thus Improving Hippocampal Function.

In this study, researchers investigated the connection between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease (AD). They focused on a type of diabetes called Type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is characterized by insulin resistance. The researchers tested a compound called AE, found in okra, and its effects on insulin resistance and neuron damage in the hippocampus. They found that AE was able to attenuate insulin resistance and improve the survival of hippocampal neurons. These findings suggest that AE may be a potential treatment for preventing the damage caused by insulin resistance in AD. Further research is needed to confirm these results in human clinical trials.
