Overview

Review critiques cholesterol's role in linking Alzheimer's Disease with Type 2 Diabetes, suggesting therapeutic targets.

Key Points

  • This review evaluates the mechanistic connection between cholesterol metabolism, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Alzheimer's Disease.
  • Structured literature review from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (2000-2025)
  • Focus on cholesterol production, transport, and elimination in the central nervous system
  • Assessment of pharmacological interventions targeting cholesterol regulation
  • Impaired cholesterol regulates neuron-astrocyte interactions, worsening amyloid-beta deposition and neurodegeneration
  • Peripheral insulin resistance and hypercholesterolemia intensify central cholesterol imbalance
  • Therapies targeting cholesterol may promote amyloid clearance and slow cognitive decline
