Project description:To investigate the effects of diabetic conditions on the development of AD pathology, we fed wild-type and Alzheimer's disease model (App[NL-F/NL-F]) mice with control or high fat diet from 6 months after birth for 12 months, then examined behavior, brain pathology and gene expression profiles. Both groups of mice fed with high fat diet exhibited diabetic conditions, and App[NL-F/NL-F] mice exhibited aggravated cognitive impairment with enhanced Alzheimer's disease pathology.
