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 […]

A high-fat high-sugar diet in adolescent rats impairs social memory and alters chemical markers characteristic of atypical neuroplasticity and parvalbumin interneuron depletion in the medial prefrontal cortex (animal)

Reichelt et al. (2019) states that the high-fat and high-sugar (HFHS) diet is associated with changes in brain plasticity and emotional behaviors in humans. Since perineuronal nets [(PNNs) specialized extracellular matrix structures] are central to regulation of neuroplasticity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), this rat-based study examined the underlying involvement of PNNs and cortical […]
