Molecular mechanism of metabolic syndrome X: contribution of adipocytokines adipocyte-derived bioactive substances.

abstract：:The purpose of this article is to review recent findings regarding the mechanisms by which GM1 may mimic or potentiate certain actions of neurotrophic factors, including promotion of neuronal survival. It is proposed that the neuroprotective activity of GM1 is due, at least in part, to its ability to favor the dimeriz...
