The Function and Regulation of Zinc in the Brain

Rebecca F. Krall et al.

Summary: Research has found a rich reserve of free zinc in distinct regions of the brain, concentrated at synaptic boutons, hinting at a possible role in synaptic transmission. Zinc plays various roles in neuronal function, influencing neurotransmission and activating neuronal signaling pathways. These roles are tightly regulated by mechanisms such as metal binding proteins and zinc transporters.

The Neuronal Actions of Leptin and the Implications for Treating Alzheimer's Disease

Kirsty Hamilton et al.

Summary: Leptin plays a significant role in regulating synaptic function in the hippocampus, enhancing cognitive function and memory tasks. It also targets temporoammonic-CA1 synapses, which are important for spatial and episodic memory processes. Leptin may have neuroprotective effects in Alzheimer's disease and boosting its actions in the hippocampus could be beneficial for AD patients.

Zinc Status Alters Alzheimer's Disease Progression through NLRP3-Dependent Inflammation

Jack Rivers-Auty et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with increasing prevalence, and inflammatory lifestyle factors may increase the risk. Zinc deficiency, the most prevalent malnutrition globally, could be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, while zinc supplementation may reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

Sex Differences in the Association Between Obesity and Cognitive Impairment in a Low-Income Elderly Population in Rural China: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Dandan Guo et al.

Summary: This study found that in low-income elderly men in rural China, a larger waist circumference was associated with better cognitive function, while a higher body mass index was associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment in elderly women. These results suggest that weight management may have cognitive benefits for elderly women in rural China.
