Figure 2. A direct link between environmental stress, such as low glucose availability, and Tau is known to occur through the AMPK/p38MAPK pathway[50,53]. This pathway has been targeted for therapeutics for use in AD[54]. AMPK: AMP-activated protein kinase; p38MAPK: P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase; PPAR: p38MAPK, Proliferator-activated receptor; MSK1/2: mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase; CREB: cAMP response element-binding protein; ER81: Ets transcription factor; AD: Alzheimer’s disease.
