Neurotransmitters are the most important messengers of the nervous system, and any changes in their balances and activities can cause serious neurological, psychiatric and cognitive disorders such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) which is the most common type of dementia is characterized by mental or cognitive disorders. People suffering with this condition find it inherently difficult to communicate and describe symptoms. As a consequence, both detection and treatment of comorbidities associated with Alzheimer’s disease are substantially impaired. Equally, action protocols in the case of emergencies must be clearly formulated and stated. Methods: We performed a bibliography search followed by an observational and cross-sectional study involving a thorough review of medical records. A group of AD patients was compared with a control group. Each group consisted of 100 people and were all León residents aged ≥65 years. Results: The following comorbidities were found to be associated with AD: cataracts, urinary incontinence, osteoarthritis, hearing loss, osteoporosis, and personality disorders. The most frequent comorbidities in the control group were the following: eye strain, stroke, vertigo, as well as circulatory and respiratory disorders. Comorbidities with a similar incidence in both groups included type 2 diabetes mellitus, glaucoma, depression, obesity, arthritis, and anxiety. We also reviewed emergency procedures employed in the case of an emergency involving an AD patient. Conclusions: Some comorbidities were present in both the AD and control groups, while others were found in the AD group and not in the control group, and vice versa.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is characterized by a significant loss of neurons and synapses, especially in the hippocampus and cortex, the extracellular β-amyloid accumulation and formation of neurofibrillary tangles. Insulin resistance plays important role in neurodegeneration and cognitive disorders in the central nervous system, especially AD. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that connect insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s pathogenesis remain largely unexplained. Therefore, great importance is the identification of molecular markers that allow to define new approaches to targeted pharmacological correction of neurodegeneration. This article describes the study of the expression of molecular markers, namely, IRAP, GLUT4, and IL-18 in different brain regions (hippocampus, olfactory bulb) rats with experimental AD
