Diet‐induced insulin resistance impairs hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognition in middle‐aged rats
Open accessAbstract
Overall dietary energy intake, particularly the consumption of simple sugars such as fructose, has been increasing steadily in Western societies, but the effects of such diets on the brain are poorly understood. Here, we used functional and structural assays to characterize the effects of excessive caloric intake on the hippocampus, a brain region important for learning and memory. Rats fed with a high‐fat, high‐glucose diet supplemented with high‐fructose corn syrup showed alterations in energy and lipid metabolism similar to clinical diabetes, with elevated fasting glucose and increased cholesterol and triglycerides. Rats maintained on this diet for 8 months exhibited impaired spatial learning ability, reduced hippocampal dendritic spine density, and reduced long‐term potentiation at Schaffer collateral—CA1 synapses. These changes occurred concurrently with reductions in levels of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus. We conclude that a high‐calorie diet reduces hippocampal synaptic plasticity and impairs cognitive function, possibly through BDNF‐mediated effects on dendritic spines.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
