Diabetes mélitus tipo 2 e a doença de Alzheimer: uma abordagem acerca de suas relações fisiopatológicas.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a group of metabolic disorders, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, in which insulin resistance may be present due to defects in insulin secretion or action. A doença de Alzheimer é uma doença cerebral neurodegenerativa progressiva que prejudica diversas funções cognitivas como memória, linguagem, atenção, raciocínio lógico e interações interpessoais que afetam diretamente a rotina e a vida das pessoas acometidas pela síndrome demencial. AD and DM2 are degenerative diseases that have a high mortality rate, health care costs, complications, and lead to cognitive decline, which severely affects the life and autonomy of the Involved person. In order to understand the problems of the two diseases, a descriptive research of articles related to the association between DM2 and AD was carried out. Several authors have conducted studies directing compatibility between the two pathologies in triggering neurodegenerative effects in the brain. Several authors have conducted studies directing compatibility between the two pathologies in triggering neurodegenerative effects in the brain. The results obtained through studies carried out in the last ten years point to the hypothesis that AD and DM2 are correlated, since all the authors agreed in their experiments with this relationship.
