Effects of Distinct n-6 to n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Rations on Insulin Resistant and AD-like Phenotypes in High-Fat Diets-Fed APP/PS1 Transgenic Mice
Abstract:Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are two prevalent diseases with comparable pathophysiological features and genetic predisposition. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential in maintaining normal brain function. However, little is known about the impact of dietary n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio on AD-like pathology, especially in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed AD model mice. Methods: In the present study, the APP/PS1 mice were treated with 60% HFD for 3.5 months to induced insulin … Show more
