Article Synopsis
- Diabetes negatively affects cognitive function by impairing brain glycogen metabolism, which is essential for neuronal activity and memory.
- A study using magnetic resonance spectroscopy found that glucose incorporation into brain glycogen was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic rats (GK rats) compared to healthy control rats (Wistar rats).
- Type 2 diabetes also reduced glucose transport and utilization in the brain, especially affecting regions like the hippocampus, which is critical for memory, and the hypothalamus, involved in energy regulation.
