March 20, 2019 / BIOON / - a new study published in jneurosci shows that replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat in diet can reverse nerve damage and restore nerve function in male rats Photo source: jneurosci these data indicate that it is necessary to further study the potential of a diet rich in healthy fat for the treatment of diabetes related nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy), type 2 diabetes is related to a high-fat diet rich in saturated fatty acids Instead, a diet rich in unsaturated fatty acids has been shown to be good for the body So Professor EVA Feldman and colleagues from the University of Michigan studied how these two fatty acids affect the progression of diabetic neuropathy, the most common complication in diabetic patients The researchers found that changing the diet of mice from a saturated fatty acid rich diet to an unsaturated fatty acid rich diet from sunflower oil could repair the neural damage in obese mice and protect their nerves from being damaged Studies on sensory neurons in DRG have shown that unsaturated fatty acids can help neurons maintain normal energy production process These results indicate that targeted dietary fatty acid intervention provides a new treatment for diabetic neuropathy Reference materials: EVA L Feldman et al The divergent roles of binary saturated and monotected pretty acids on nervous function in murine models of obsity Jneurosci (2019) Doi: 10.1523/jneurosci.3173-18.2019
