High-fat diet and aging interact to produce neuroinflammation and impair hippocampal- and amygdalar-dependent memory (animal)

Since microglia in the hippocampus are vulnerable to the effects of ageing, Spencer et al. (2019) assesses if the morphological and functional changes in microglia explain the findings from their previous studies showing short-term high-fat diets (HFD) significantly impairing hippocampal- and amygdala- based cognitive function only in the ageing and not in the young rats.

Hippocampal-dependent appetitive control is impaired by experimental exposure to a Western-style diet

Stevenson et. al (2020) randomly assorted a sample of 110 healthy lean adults to either a one week western-style (WS) diet intervention or a habitual-diet control group, to examine if the rapid impairments in hippocampal function and poorer appetite control seen when animals were fed with a WS diet can be replicated in humans. Measures […]
