- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is linked to cognitive decline and brain changes, showcasing the need for better treatment methods.
- This study tested the effects of intranasal insulin and moderate treadmill exercise on memory and anxiety in rats with AD-like symptoms induced by amyloid-β (Aβ).
- Results indicated that the combination of exercise and insulin improved memory and reduced anxiety, while increasing levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor (TrkB) in the hippocampus, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for AD-related memory issues.
