Fat food exacerbates post-prandial hypothalamic inflammation involving GFAP+ cells and microglia
2019-11-12
Abstract excerpt
In humans, obesity was associated with brain inflammation and glial cell proliferation. Studies in rodents showed that glial cell proliferation occurs within 24 hours of high-fat diet (HFD) consumption, before obesity development. This proliferation was mainly observed in the hypothalamus (HT), a crucial brain structure for controlling body weight. Therefore, we sought to characterize the post-prandial HT inflamma...
