Insulin resistance, Alzheimer's disease and brain white matter integrity

https://www.utupub.fi/handle/10024/151625

The purpose of this literature review is to investigate the possible connection between insulin resistance and loss of brain white matter integrity as both phenomena are known to occur in Alzheimer’s disease. In this literature review, the focus is on recent findings about insulin resistance and white matter integrity impairment detected by a modality of magnetic resonance imaging called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
