The Claim
Higher fasting C-peptide levels are associated with better cognitive performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Mini-Mental State Examination, and Frontal Assessment Battery in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal syndrome.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal syndrome, higher levels of fasting C-peptide are linked to higher scores on tests of memory, attention, and executive function.
See the scientific wording
Higher levels of fasting C-peptide are associated with better cognitive performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Mini-Mental State Examination, and Frontal Assessment Battery in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal syndrome, suggesting endogenous insulin secretion may play a protective role in cognition.
Higher natural insulin production protects the brain by helping brain cells use sugar properly, reducing harmful inflammation, and keeping communication between nerve cells stable, which keeps thinking and memory skills stronger in people with certain brain diseases.
What the research says
1 studyIn people with rare brain diseases, those with higher natural insulin levels (shown by C-peptide) scored better on memory and thinking tests, suggesting their brain function may be helped by their own insulin production.
