Cyclosorus Terminans Extract Alleviates Neuroinflammation in Insulin Resistant Rats.

High-fat diet consumption for an extended period causes obesity, systemic metabolic disturbance, and brain insulin resistance, resulting in neuroinflammation. Although the beneficial effect of Cyclosorus terminans extract on obesity-related insulin resistance has been demonstrated, little is known about how it affects neuroinflammation and brain insulin resistance in obese rats. Male Wistar rats were given either a normal diet (ND, n = 6) or a high-fat diet (HFD, n = 24) for a total of 14 weeks.

The role of trimethylamine-N-Oxide in the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is associated with multiple risk factors and is the most common type of dementia. Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota metabolite derived from dietary choline and carnitine, has recently been identified as a potential risk factor of Alzheimer's disease. It has been demonstrated that TMAO is associated with Alzheimer's disease through various pathophysiological pathways.
