Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function

Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function

Our brain is recognized by all specialists as the most complex entity created in nature. Regarding the extraordinary capacities of its functioning still incompletely known the control of the brain by our dietary lipids may seem very improbable to many people. Yet research has shown that an imbalance in the intake of essential fatty acids is related to conditions as prevalent as depression bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Research on psychological disorders including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder autism aggressiveness and suicidal behavior are discussed in this text. Several neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis are also explored. Several observations prove that not only are omega-3 fatty acids actively involved in maintaining the noble functions of our brain but other lipids including cholesterol liposoluble vitamins (A D and E) and some carotenoids play roles as well and are presented in this book. Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function focuses on this important research for human health. This book brings readers doctors dietitians and nutritionists arguments that could improve brain development in young people prevent many nervous diseases and slow down the age-related decline of higher brain functions. This book provides helpful information to improve health in the young as well in the old using practical and personalized recommendations for preventing and treating nervous pathologies. Features:• Focuses on the importance of dietary lipids on the proper brain functioning. • Provides relevant references demonstrating the efficiency of dietary lipids to maintain a healthy brain. • Introduces lipid sources and describes their roles by lipid groups in behavior issues and various chronic nervous diseases.

Physiological Consequences of Brain Insulin Action

Physiological Consequences of Brain Insulin Action

The brain is crucial for the regulation of whole-body metabolism and behavior. The pancreas-derived hormone insulin modulates brain function and affects energy metabolism as well as cognition. This is partially achieved by modulating several types of brain cell populations including those relevant to satiety and reward. Importantly brains of Alzheimer´s disease patients exhibit a signature of brain insulin resistance with perturbed brain metabolism. This book will cover the basics of insulin signaling in the brain and will describe concepts of insulin resistance a feature of type 2 diabetes. Moreover insulin´s effect on cognitive function will be pointed out and the association between brain insulin resistance and neurodegenerative diseases discussed. Additionally potential behavioral and pharmacological concepts which can affect brain insulin signaling will be summarized.
