Mar 1, 2017 · The human brain has a high energy demand that is almost exclusively satisfied metabolizing glucose and, under particular circumstances, also fatty acids (FAs) and ketone bodies (KBs) (Fig. 1) (Belanger et al., 2011). However, the energetic role of FA oxidation in the brain is still matter of debate.

Saturated fatty acids (FAs) are the main component of high‐fat diets (HFDs), and high consumption has been associated with the development of insulin resistance, endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in neuronal cells.
The mode of action of OEA illustrates a case of lipid-derived sensor of dietary fats connecting food intake and fatty acids sensing in the gut to hypothalamic fatty acids sensing. Although controversial as for the subdiaphragmatic vagal deafferentation [ 101 ], OEA-induced hypophagia is abolished in case vagal sensory afferents are lost as for pharmacological treatment or surgical resection ...
Neuroinflammation stands out as a hallmark feature of brain disorders that may be linked to peripheral metabolic dyshomeostasis caused by an unhealthy diet. Dietary fatty acids are of particular interest, as they may play a dual role, both as a component of high-calorie obesogenic diets and as signaling molecules involved in inflammatory responses.

Sep 9, 2021 · Lipids account for nearly 60% of human brain tissue and the composition of fatty acids (FAs) seems to impact on brain integrity and function . FAs are the elementary building blocks of triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesteryl esters. They function as energy sources and are important structural components of all cells.
