On a different note, coconut oil mitigates amyloid beta toxicity in cortical neurons by up - regulating signaling
of cell survival pathways (Nafar, Clarke, & Mearow, 2017).
Activated ERK1 / 2 modulates the functions of several transcription factors, protein kinases, protein phosphatases, cytoskeletal proteins, signaling molecules, apoptosis - related proteins, as well as other types of proteins [32], while activated AKT modulates the function of numerous substrates involved in the
regulation of cell survival, cell cycle progression and cellular growth [33, 34], whereas JNK acts as pro-apoptotic as well as anti-apoptotic depending on the conditions [35].
