TL;DR

A role for the metabolic–inflammatory axis in brain vulnerability is supported and preservation of neuroimmune homeostasis may be important for maintaining cognitive health in obesity-associated metabolic disorders.

Walnuts Modulate Cognition, Inflammation, and BDNF Expression in Rats.

Aging is associated with increased neuroinflammation and a decrease in neuroplasticity, contributing to cognitive decline and increased risk for neurodegenerative disease. Nutritional interventions, such as walnut supplementation, may counteract these effects due to walnuts' high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids,...

Attenuation of systemic inflammation-induced behavioral deficits and neuromolecular alterations by N-acetylcysteine in a rodent model

Aims: Systemic inflammation driven by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces neurobehavioral deficits, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation, and neurodegeneration-related alterations. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a potent antioxidant with emerging anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated whether...

Tuina ameliorates neurobehavioral deficits and neuroinflammation in a mouse model of cerebral palsy: associations with metabolic reprogramming.

BACKGROUND Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by persistent motor impairment and may be accompanied by sustained neuroinflammation. Metabolic reprogramming is increasingly recognized as an important regulator of microglial inflammatory responses; however, its involvement in the effects of Tuina remains unclear. OBJ...

Akkermansia muciniphila Ameliorates Midlife Obesity-Induced Cognitive Impairment via the Microbiota-Metabolism-Neuroinflammation Axis

Midlife obesity is an established independent risk factor for age-related cognitive decline, yet direct causal experimental evidence and underlying gut microbial mechanisms remain poorly defined. Using a mouse model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity restricted to the midlife period (6–12 months of age) in male wil...

Atorvastatin Exerts Context-Dependent Metabolic and Beneficial Effects on Behavior and Apoptotic Signaling in a Cafeteria Diet–Induced Metabolic Dysfunction Model

The growing prevalence of obesity has been associated with metabolic and neurobiological alterations that compromise brain integrity and behavior. Diet-induced obesity, often accompanied by hypercholesterolemia, activates apoptotic signaling pathways in the central nervous system, contributing to cognitive and behavior...

Structural and morphological features of the liver in the development of metabolically associated steatotic liver disease under conditions of experimentally induced obesity

Metabolically associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents a spectrum of liver pathology driven by obesity and metabolic dysregulation. The present study aimed to evaluate the structural and morphological liver changes during MASLD development under experimentally induced obesity. A prospective controlled expe...
