Popis: The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of PI3K/PKB/mTOR/S6K1 signaling pathway in the risk-increasing mechanisms of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) towards the Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Based on the high-sugar high-fat diet, the single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin was performed to induce the T2DM rat model; the immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR technique were then performed to detect the expression levels of mTOR, PI3K, PKB, S6K1 and phosphorylated Tau protein in the hippocampal tissues of each group. The related metabolic indicators of the T2DM group and the T2DM + AD group were significantly higher than the normal control group and the AD group (P
