A team of American scientists from different disciplines has carried out a study in order to observe the different brain responses in mice and mice when eating fat . The conclusions of the study have been published in the journal Cell Reports .
The consequences of eating foods high in fat generated greater brain inflammation in males and not in females; This inflammation can lead to heart problems and an increased risk of diabetes.
“Our data showed that mice with brain inflammation suffered from prediabetes, as well as alterations in cardiovascular function. This only occurred in male mice; there was no inflammation in the females. We saw that it was not all bad that the females had, from time to time, a high fat diet . However, it was highly damaging in men ”, explains Deborah Clegg, study co-author to the Sinc agency.
According to scientists, after all, a high-fat diet could not be all bad for women. Either way, experts are currently working on how to confirm whether these findings can also be applied to humans .
If this hypothesis is confirmed, the dietary recommendations in order to fight the obesity epidemic that the world suffers should be diversified and create diets that take into account the sex of the patient to control fat intake, among other things.
