Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of induced hyperinsulinemia with euglycemia on Abeta, transthyretin, and inflammatory markers and modulators in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). DESIGN: Randomized crossover trial. SETTING: Veterans Affairs hospital clinical research unit. PARTICIPANTS: Sixteen healthy adults ranging from 55 to 81 years of age (mean age, 68.2 years). INTERVENTIONS: On separate mornings, fasting participants received randomized infusions of saline or insulin (1.0 mU.kg(-1).min(-1)) with variable dextrose levels to maintain euglycemia, achieving plasma insulin levels typical of insulin resistance. Plasma and CSF were collected after an approximately 105-minute infusion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
