Butyrate regulates the blood-brain barrier transport and intra-endothelial accumulation of Alzheimers disease Amyloid-beta peptides

Vaishnavi Veerareddy, Zengtao Wang, Purna Kashyap, Karunya K. Kandimalla

This study shows butyrate reduces amyloid-beta 42 accumulation at the blood-brain barrier by activating insulin signaling pathways and improving BBB integrity.

Endothelial-pericyte interactions activate insulin signaling and its implications for blood-brain barrier dysfunction in Alzheimers disease

Zengtao Wang, Vaishnavi Veerareddy, Paulina M. Eberts…·Karunya K. Kandimalla

This study investigates how pericyte degeneration contributes to blood-brain barrier disruption in Alzheimer's disease by examining insulin signaling and MMP/TIMP imbalance in an in vitro model.
