A study on rats raised on a high-fat diet found that they gained weight, experienced metabolic changes, and developed reduced insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. The rats also exhibited enhanced odor-aversion memory, which corresponded to increased neurotransmission in specific areas of the amygdala and hippocampus. The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience Research, aimed … Read more
