Notes

  • Background: Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Regulation of normal insulin function may be important in reducing the prevalence of dementia due to AD, particularly in individuals who harbor genetic risk for or have a parental family history of AD. The relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and AD pathology remains poorly understood, particularly in midlife prior to the onset of clinical metabolic disease or cognitive decline. Objective: We examined associations between IR as indexed by HOMA-IR, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD pathology, and memory in middle-aged adults enriched for AD. We postulated that higher HOMA-IR and APOE epsilon 4 carriage would be associated with greater CSF AD pathology and poor memory performance. Methods: Cognitively asymptomatic middle-aged adults (N = 70, mean age = 57.7 years) from the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center with a parental family history of dementia due to AD underwent lumbar puncture, blood draw, and neuropsychological testing. CSF AD biomarkers including soluble amyloid-beta protein precursor beta (sA beta PP beta), amyloid-beta 42 (A beta(42)), and phosphorylated tau (P-tau(181)) were examined with respect to HOMA-IR and APOE epsilon 4 status. Delayed memory performance was examined with respect to HOMA-IR, CSF AD biomarkers, and APOE epsilon 4 status. Results: Higher HOMA-IR was associated with higher sA beta PP beta and A beta(42). APOE epsilon 4 carriers had significantly higher levels of sA beta PP beta, sA beta PP beta, and P-tau(181)/A beta(42) compared to noncarriers. The concurrent presence of higher HOMA-IR and CSF AD pathology predicted worse delayed memory performance. Conclusion: Overall, the findings suggest that IR and APOE epsilon 4 are contributing factors to the development of AD pathology in midlife, and provide support for targeting insulin function as a potentially modifiable risk factor for AD.
