NLRP3 Inflammasome Blocking as a Potential Treatment of Central Insulin Resistance in Early-Stage Alzheimer’s Disease

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder. In recent years, attention of researchers has increasingly been focused on studying the role of brain insulin resistance (BIR) in the AD pathogenesis. Neuroinflammation makes a significant contribution to the BIR due t...
