Glycation is a factor of glucose concentration exposure and time, with more AGEs forming upon longer exposure to higher concentrations of glucose.33 It follows that in a body that is hyperinsulinemic, and a brain that is insulin - resistant, the peripheral hyperinsulinism will inhibit the clearance of soluble Aβ by IDE, thereby causing it to remain in the extracellular space for an extended amount of time, and the functional «hyperglycemia» in the brain will provide an elevated level of glucose — the perfect storm for glycation of Aβ and its aggregation into insoluble plaques.
