Long term Westernized diet leads to region-specific changes in brain signaling mechanisms (animal)

Hansen et al. (2018) studied the effects of dyslipidemia (elevation of plasma cholesterol, triglycerides (TGs), or both, or low HDL cholesterol level) induced by two diets (high in fat with or without high sucrose) on hippocampal and frontal cortical oxidative stress, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), monoaminergic neurotransmitter concentration, and on down-stream markers of synaptic plasticity.

Stress-impaired reward pathway promotes distinct feeding behavior patterns

Although neuropsychiatric conditions impact eating habits, several environmental variables are also important. Fujioka et al. (2024) showed that mice subjected to multiple stressors—such as social isolation, intermittent high-fat diets, and physical restraint—developed altered feeding behaviors, particularly a fixated approach to food. These stressors impacted dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) shell, and restoring normal […]
