Bridging neurotrophic factors and bioactive peptides to Alzheimer’s disease

Wei, Minhui, Wu, Tong, Chen, Ning·2024·Ageing Research Reviews

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder. As the demographic shifting towards an aging population, AD has emerged as a prominent public health concern. The pathogenesis of AD is complex, and there are no effective treatment methods for AD until now. In recent years, neurotrophic factors and bioactive peptides including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF), irisin, melatonin, have been discovered to exert neuroprotective functions for AD. Bioactive peptides can be divided into two categories based on their sources: endogenous and exogenous. This review briefly elaborates on the pathogenesis of AD and analyzes the regulatory effects of endogenous and exogenous peptides on the pathogenesis of AD, thereby providing new therapeutic targets for AD and a theoretical basis for the application of bioactive peptides as adjunctive therapies for AD.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Both GLP-1RAs and physical exercise converge on common neural pathways, influencing brain regions involved in appetite regulation, energy balance, and cognitive function.

    “Emerging evidence suggests that both GLP-1RAs and physical exercise converge on common neural pathways, influencing brain regions involved in appetite regulation, energy balance, and cognitive function.”
  • Exercise induces the release of myokines, such as apelin and irisin, alongside increased levels of BDNF.

    “Exercise induces the release of myokines, such as apelin and irisin, alongside increased levels of BDNF (43, 44).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
