In recent years, several studies aimed to investigate the metabolic effects of non-functioning or absent cyclophilin D (CypD), a crucial regulatory component of mitochondrial permeability transition pores. It has been reported that the lack of CypD affects glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the findings are controversial regarding the metabolic pathways involved, and most reports describe the effect of a high-fat diet on metabolism.

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an advanced neuroimaging technique that enables the non-invasive examination of white matter integrity and provides insights into the microstructure of pathways connecting brain areas.

- The study looked at how a specific protein called TRPA1 affects brain damage caused by a chemical called cuprizone in mice.
- Researchers fed two groups of mice (one with the TRPA1 protein and one without) with cuprizone for six weeks and tested their behavior and brain changes.
- They found that the mice without TRPA1 had less brain damage and different behaviors compared to those with it, suggesting TRPA1 plays a role in how the brain reacts to cuprizone.
