(humanMAP). Linear regressions were utilized with the dependent variable being measured by theWechslerMemory Scale 3 rd Edition, LogicalMemory test, which evaluated immediate and delayed memory. Covariates included gender, age, and education. Results: Among MCI cases without DM, GLP1 was negatively associated with delayed (p-value1⁄4 0.028) memory scores. However, among MCI cases within diabetes GLP-1 levels were positively associated with delayed memory (p-value1⁄40.033). Conclusions: GLP-1 was found to be differentially associated with delayed memory performance among MCI cases depending on DM status. These preliminary studies should be replicated in a larger sample size for confirmation. If confirmed, these results will support the possibility of GLP-1 targeted medications for the treatment of MCI, but only those patients with comorbid diabetes.
