In the pathogenesis of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, an increasingly important role is attributed recently to unhealthy lifestyle, which consists primarily of a high caloric diet (i.e., western), chronic exposure to stress, and lack of physical activity. However, the mechanisms responsible for energy metabolism impairment induced by unhealthy lifestyles compromising CNS functions are poorly...
INTRODUCTION: The broad spectrum of the positive effects of physical activity on brain functioning is well acknowledged. Among others, it induces an improvement in mood, and a part of the rodent studies support this thesis by showing anxiolytic effects of exercise. However, the mechanism of this behavioral modification is not clear. Changes in brain metabolism may contribute to the generation of complex...
INTRODUCTION: Autophagy is a cellular recycling mechanism essential for maintenance of cell homeostasis and viability, especially during stress conditions; hence, autophagy is involved in a number of physiological and pathological processes. Autophagy is thought to be involved in anti‑aging and neuroprotective effects of caloric restriction, Sirtuin 1 activation, inhibition of insulin/ insulin-like...
INTRODUCTION: In the recent years, more attention is attributed to the impact of diet on central nervous system function. An increasing number of diseases, including neurological disorders, results from inadequate dietary habits. Diet, however, can affect the function of brain and mental processes in a negative as well as a beneficial way. The diet with well‑documented neuroprotective effects is a...
The positive effects of the ketogenic diet (KD) on social behavior have been recently reported in patients and rodent models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Given the beneficial effects of the KD on epilepsy, mitochondrial function, carbohydrate metabolism, and inflammation, treatment based on the KD has the potential to reduce some of the ASD-associated symptoms, including abnormal social interactions...
