1. Chronic oral administration of AdipoRon reverses spatial learning and memory performance in an Alzheimer mouse model.
2. AdipoRon crosses the blood-brain barrier and reaches maximum concentration 2 hours after oral administration.
3. AdipoRon enhances neuronal insulin sensitivity and reduces amyloid-β deposition.
4. AdipoRon suppresses amyloid-β-mediated neuroinflammatory responses, exerting protective effects to neurons and synapses in Alzheimer mouse model.
