Cholesterol, Statins, and Brain Function: A Hypothesis from a Molecular PerspectiveNeurotransmitter releaseSNAREmembrane fusionsynapseraftThere is evidence that cholesterol in the brain plays an important role in the neurotransmitter release. A decrease of the cholesterol level severely hampers the activity ...
The theory that heart disease is "caused by cholesterol" has gone through several stages, and most recently the use of the "statin" drugs has revived it in a radical way. One consistent theme for fifty years has been that people should eat more polyunsaturated fat and less saturated fat, t...
Both cholesterol and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism play an important role in retinal and brain development and function. Dietary intake of cholesterol is accompanied with higher risk of heart disease and was suggested to have a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, while ...
There exists an intricate relationship between hypercholesterolemia (elevated plasma cholesterol) and brain functions. The present study aims to understand the impact of hypercholesterolemia on pathological consequences in mouse brain. A chronic mouse mo
The anatomy of the brain in light and electron microscopic analyses does not differ from that of wild type controls. To determine the role of cholesterol 24-hydroxylase in brain function we performed several behavioral tests, including the Morris water maze and cued and contextual fear conditioning...
These fats can help your heart and brain function. Your risk for heart disease and other health problems increases if you have an HDL cholesterol level of 40 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or less for men and 50 mg/dL or less for women. Total daily cholesterol intake should be less ...
and mackerel are an excellent source of N-3 (Omega-3) fatty acids which enable you to get shielded from cardiovascular issues. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for our health (brain function, blood pressure, heart health) but unfortunately, our body cannot produce them. A minimum of three...
Lowering cholesterol levels may impair brain function, since cholesterol is essential for synapse formation and maturation and plays an important role in the regulation of signal transduction through its function as a component of the cell membrane. However, membrane cholesterol also plays a role in ...
Cinnamon is a super-food that lowers cholesterol and is anti-cancerous. — Hannah Bronfman 37 Eating healthy fats is essential for optimal brain function. — Steven Gundry 78 Healthy fats are not the enemy, they are an essential part of a balanced diet. — Steven Gundry 73 The most ...
the cholesterol content of the diet, plasma cholesterol concentration, cholesterol absorption, and cholesterol synthesis (measured indirectly by desmosterol suppression technique) are explored in groups of high- and low-responding rhesus monkeys fed diets containing 0.02, 0.15 and 0.75 mg cholesterol/kcal...
