Reduced cognitive function, increased blood-brain-barrier transport and inflammatory responses, and altered brain metabolites in LDLr -/-and C57BL/6 mice fed a western diet

The purpose of this 2018 study was to determine if a western diet changes brain metabolism, increases blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport and inflammation, and induces cognitive impairment in C57BL/6 (WT) mice and low-density lipoprotein receptor null (LDLr -/-) mice (a model of hyperlipidemia and cognitive decline). Cognitive processes (assessed by Y-maze and radial arm water […]

Chronic consumption of a western diet modifies the DNA methylation profile in the frontal cortex of mice (animal)

Although there have been many studies analysing the effect of maternal consumption of a Western Diet (WD) on DNA methylation in the offspring, Yokoyama et al. (2018) point out that the impact of a WD to an individual’s DNA methylation has rarely been probed. The aim of this study was to examine how chronic dieting […]
