    Summary
    The results showed that lixisenatide could reduce amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and neuroinflammation in the hippocampi of 12-month-old APP/PS1/tau female mice;

    Summary · context
    In the follow-up study, we analysed the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of lixisenatide, injected for 60 days at 10 nmol/kg i.p. once daily in APP/PS1/tau female mice and C57BL/6J female mice (as control) aged 12 month.

    In APP/PS1/tau female mice, PKA-CREB activation might contribute to lixisenatide neuroprotection.

    In plain wordsIn mice, activation of PKA-CREB signaling might contribute to lixisenatide's brain protection.

    Summary
    activation of PKA-CREB signaling pathway and inhibition of p38-MAPK might be the important mechanisms in the neuroprotective function of lixisenatide.
