In fact, combination of docosahexanoic acid (ω-3 FA) and curcumin showed reduced phosphorylation of JNK and tau as well as a decreased degradation of IRS1 in 3xTg AD mice, leading to an Y-maze performance improvement due to a possible role of curcumin in an insulin-sensitization process which directly supports and preserves the insulin tropism within cerebral tissue (Ma et al., 2009). This evidence concerns the gene INS and Alzheimer disease.
