Diabetes, Neurodegenerative Diseases, GLP-1 & Surgery: Evidence Calls for Exploration

Abstract

Introduction: As life expectancy increases, the burden of chronic degenerative diseases is more evident. Diabetes and neurologic conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases are clear examples of such burden. This review explores the links between these conditions with the objective of considering alternative therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases.
