A parallel line of work frames Alzheimers disease as a state of central insulin resistance, sometimes called type 3 diabetes, in which GLP-1R agonism restores neuronal insulin signalling, improves mitochondrial function, and reduces oxidative stress
GLP-1R agonists may exert antidepressant effects by modulating inflammatory processes in the brain Chronic inflammatory processes in the brain associated with excessive activation of microglia and increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines are one of the key factors leading to the development of depressive symptoms, as patients suffering from this mental illness are very often characterized by elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1), C-reactive protein (CRP), and interferon-gamma (IFN-) in the cerebrospinal fluid and the blood [59,60,61]
