The Potential Effect of Insulin on AChE and Its Interactions with Rivastigmine In Vitro

There is no definite cure for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) due to its multifactorial origin. Drugs that inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), such as rivastigmine, are promising symptomatic treatments for AD. Emerging evidence suggests that insulin therapy can hinder several aspects of AD pathology. Insu...
