Poor responses to insulin have been closely associated with Alzheimer’s disease in humans, and previous research has shown that bottlenose dolphins can also develop insulin resistance. That, combined with the recent discovery of amyloid plaques and tangled clumps of fibers in bottlenose dolphin brains, led the researchers to believe that dolphins, like us, may develop signs of Alzheimer’s disease as a result of high levels of blood sugar and insulin.

Dr. Debbie Toiber, of the BGU Department of Life Sciences, and her team discovered that a specific protein — Sirtuin-6 (SIRT6) — is severely reduced in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. SIRT6 is critical to the repair of DNA, the deterioration of which “is the beginning of the chain that ends in neurodegenerative diseases in seniors,” she explains.
The blood-brain barrier prevents us from simply being able to inject the protein into the brain to replenish its supply. Dr. Toiber is currently working on finding a way to increase the expression of the protein into the brain.
