Article Synopsis
- Maintaining healthy nerve connections in fat tissue is essential for metabolic well-being, as obesity, diabetes, and aging can lead to peripheral neuropathy, which hinders nerve regeneration.
- Researchers tested an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy to deliver neurotrophic factors like BDNF and NGF directly to fat tissue, showing promise in improving nerve innervation in obese and diabetic mice.
- NGF was found to be more effective than BDNF for enhancing nerve connections, particularly after prolonged dietary obesity, suggesting that a combination of therapies might provide the best results for treating peripheral neuropathy.
