Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease. Nervonic acid is a component of breast milk and is also found in fish oil and specific vegetable oils. Studies have shown that nervonic acid is essential for the development of the human nervous system. In this study, Morris water maze (MWM) test and pathological analysis showed that nervonic acid could improve cognitive deficits and brain nerve damage in AD rats. Then, through sequencing, we found that nervonic acid increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bacteroides, and decreased the abundance of Pseudomonadaceae_Pseudomonas. Not only that, nervonic acid also regulates the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and the levels of 29 fecal metabolites, and affects the metabolism of linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, and sphingolipid. Finally, we verified the regulatory effect of nervonic acid on metabolic enzyme activity.
期刊介绍:
Devoted to advancements in nutritional sciences, The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry presents experimental nutrition research as it relates to: biochemistry, molecular biology, toxicology, or physiology.
Rigorous reviews by an international editorial board of distinguished scientists ensure publication of the most current and key research being conducted in nutrition at the cellular, animal and human level. In addition to its monthly features of critical reviews and research articles, The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry also periodically publishes emerging issues, experimental methods, and other types of articles.
