Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) and the hyperphosphorylation of tau
protein in the brain, leading to the increase in inflammation and neuronal loss. Recently, evidences to support the association
between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and AD have markedly increased by clinical researches and experimental studies.
Reduced insulin action and impaired glucose metabolism in the brain leads to diabetes induced AD. Androgen, a male
sex hormone, was known to regulate inflammatory response, Aβ deposition in AD, insulin signaling, and synaptic plasticity
in brain. Clinical studies demonstrated that androgen deficiency results in the increased risk of AD and its severe progression
in male subjects. We reviewed the significant evidences to support that low testosterone levels are linked to diabetes-induced
AD based on previous studies. Thus, we highlight the therapeutic potential of androgen in diabetes induced AD
