Differential Roles of Diet on Development and Spinal Cord Regeneration in Larval Zebrafish

ZEBRAFISH, 2024 • April 1, 2024

This study examines the effects of different diets on the growth and spinal cord regeneration of larval zebrafish. Three diets were compared: live rotifers, a commercial powder diet, and nutritive med...

KEY FINDING: Larvae fed a live rotifer diet grew 32% in length, while those fed a commercial diet only grew 4%.

Association of dietary and nutritional factors with cognitive decline, dementia, and depressive symptomatology in older individuals according to a neurogenesis-centred biological susceptibility to brain ageing

Age and Ageing, 2024 • January 31, 2024

This study investigated the interaction between dietary/nutritional factors and neurogenesis-centred biological susceptibility on cognitive decline (CD), dementia, and depressive symptomatology. The r...

KEY FINDING: Increased plasma lycopene concentrations, higher red meat consumption, and lower poultry consumption were associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease in individuals with a neurogenesis-centred susceptibility.

Coffee polyphenols ameliorate early-life stress-induced cognitive deficits in male mice

Neurobiology of Stress, 2024 • May 15, 2024

This study investigated whether coffee polyphenols could protect against early-life stress (ES)-induced cognitive deficits in male mice. ES was induced via limited nesting and bedding, and mice were g...

KEY FINDING: Coffee polyphenol supplementation early in life protected against ES-induced later life cognitive deficits, as evidenced by improved performance in object recognition and spatial memory tasks.

Diet mimicking fasting promotes regeneration and reduces autoimmunity and multiple sclerosis symptoms

Cell Rep, 2016 • June 7, 2016

This study demonstrates that periodic cycles of a fasting mimicking diet (FMD) can ameliorate demyelination and symptoms in a murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model. The FMD redu...

KEY FINDING: FMD cycles reduced disease severity in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for MS, and reversed symptoms in some animals.

Rapid healing of a patient with dramatic subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord: a case report

BMC Res Notes, 2017 • January 18, 2017

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of cobalamin deficiency, particularly in patients with SACD, and emphasizes the importance of considering alternative markers like MMA and homocys...

KEY FINDING: Normal cobalamin serum levels do not rule out a cobalamin deficiency, especially in cases of SACD.

Diet-Related Metabolites Associated with Cognitive Decline Revealed by Untargeted Metabolomics in a Prospective Cohort

Mol. Nutr. Food Res., 2019 • July 9, 2019

This study used untargeted metabolomics to identify a serum signature of 22 metabolites associated with cognitive decline in older adults over 12 years. The signature included metabolites related to c...

KEY FINDING: A baseline serum signature of 22 metabolites was associated with subsequent cognitive decline.

High fat diet consumption results in mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and oligodendrocyte loss in the central nervous system

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis, 2020 • March 1, 2020

This study investigated the effects of a high fat diet (HFD) on oligodendrocytes and myelin in the central nervous system (CNS) of mice. Results showed that HFD consumption led to a loss of oligodendr...

KEY FINDING: Chronic high fat diet (HFD) consumption promotes loss of oligodendrocyte progenitors across the brain and spinal cord.
