Atypical PKC, PKCλ/ι, activates β-secretase and increases Aβ1–40/42 and phospho-tau in mouse brain and isolated neuronal cells, and may link hyperinsulinemia and other aPKC activators to development of pathological and memory abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease

Abstract: Hyperinsulinemia activates brain Akt and PKC-λ/ι and increases Aβ1-40/42 and phospho-tau in insulin-resistant animals. Here, we examined underlying mechanisms in mice, neuronal cells, and mouse hippocampal slices. Like Aβ1-40/42, β-secretase activity was increased in insulin-resistant… read more here.
