Hippocampal neural cell degeneration and memory deficit in high-fat diet-induced postnatal obese rats– exploring the comparable benefits of choline and DHA or environmental enrichment

Abstract

High fat diet-induced postnatal obesity in rats causes CA1/CA3 hippocampal neuro-degeneration and memory deficits. Supplementation of choline and DHA in obese rats attenuates these deficits.
