          Type 2 Diabetes Rewires the Brain Like Early Alzheimer’s

          New research reveals that Type 2 diabetes may impair the brain’s reward and memory processing in ways that mirror early Alzheimer’s disease. The study focuses on the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a brain region responsible for motivation and emotional regulation, and its interaction with the hippocampus.

          Fat Alone Doesn’t Disrupt Brain’s Appetite Neurons

          A new study reveals that a high-fat diet alone does not appear to be responsible for changes in brain neurons that regulate appetite and energy balance. Researchers found no immediate effect on neurons in the hypothalamus of mice fed a high-fat, low-sugar diet, suggesting that other nutrients like sugar may play a more significant role in altering brain function.

          Targeting Glucose May Spark Neurogenesis

          Neural stem cells, which create new neurons in the brain, become less active with age due to elevated glucose levels. Researchers found that by knocking out the glucose transporter gene GLUT4 in older mice, they could significantly increase the production of new neurons.

          Sweet Taste Receptors Play Role in Glucose Metabolism

          The sweet taste receptor, TAS1R2-TAS1R3, plays a dual role in regulating glucose metabolism. Stimulating this receptor with sucralose accelerates insulin release, while inhibiting it with lactisole slows insulin release. This finding suggests that targeting TAS1R2-TAS1R3 could offer new therapeutic avenues for managing metabolic disorders like diabetes.

          Serotonin Boosts Fertility

          Researchers uncovered a crucial link between glucose levels, serotonin signaling, and fertility. By studying rats and goats, the team discovered that increased glucose availability stimulates serotonergic neurons, enhancing the release of reproductive hormones via the activation of kisspeptin neurons.

          A new study provides crucial insights into the potential relationship between thyroid hormones, blood sugar, lipid levels, and their effects on Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Researchers explored the intricate roles of these biological markers on MDD prognosis, the probability of suicidal behavior, and potential treatments.
