Description
Uththara Sachinthanie Senarath and five co-authors present a 2025 study of two dietary fats and their effects on brain cells in Alzheimer's disease. Inflammation in the brain is a core part of the disease. One fat is a short chain type made by gut microbes; the other is a medium chain fat found in coconut oil.
Past work hints both fats calm inflammation, cut the harm of the disease's plaque protein, and help cell power plants work. How each fat switches the brain's support cells and neurons on or off was unclear. The team tested the fats alone and together, including against plaque driven activation of the cells.
