Long term high fat diet induces metabolic disorders and aggravates behavioral disorders and cognitive deficits in MAPT P301L transgenic mice

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an uncommon condition that usually occurs late in life, a condition where several metabolic factors were found to contribute to its onset and course. Peripheral tissue insulin resistance and pathologies observed in tau proteins were demonstrated through studies of diabetes employing streptozotocin-injected and db/db mouse models. In their study, Xiong et […]

High-fat diet Induced anxiety and anhedonia: Impact on brain homeostasis and inflammation (animal)

Dutheil et al. (2016) aimed to confirm the molecular mechanisms by which a fat-enriched diet can cause multiple complications in the brain including altering intracellular signaling and gene expression that underlie anxiety and depressive behaviors. When a high-fat diet was given for around 16 weeks, anxiety and depressive behaviors appeared. The results also showed that […]
