Neuroprotection in diabetic encephalopathy.
Increasing evidence has shown that diabetes may be associated with learning and memory deficits in humans. These cognitive disorders, called 'diabetic encephalopathy', can impair the daily performance of diabetic individuals. In recent years, some neuroprotective measures have been proposed to prevent diabetic neuropathology. This review attempts to show a summary of different experimental measures that have been described to improve the burden of diabetes in the central nervous system, particularly hippocampal formation.
