Humanin inhibits neuronal cell death induced by various kinds of familial Alzheimer’s disease gene mutations and β-amyloid peptide, which was thought to be an AD specific neu- 生 roprotective peptide at first. However, many recent studies demonstrated that humanin possesses diverse neuropro- tective, cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Meanwhile, humanin can also improve insulin sensitivity, then delay onset of diabetes. Humanin offers protection in many disease models, such as AD, type
