This feature of his, according to doctors, can go to basis for new treatments for people with disabilities associated with brain pathologies such as eg Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
In their experiments, experts have used mice with damaged DNA. In humans, such violations give rise to Cockayne syndrome - a genetic abnormality, at which a premature aging, followed by very early death. The study showed that feeding mice were sick with food high-fat diet caused positive changes in the process - Aging postponed for a later date, and its characteristic features (violation hearing loss, loss of body weight) had bright expression.
According to experts, the brain It has a constant need for energy supply obtained from food. In Cockayne syndrome patients with the update mechanism of brain cells is carried out with the abnormal activity in the brain involves bringing their own Resources - this leads to its rapid wear and aging. Meals high fat (particularly coconut oil or similar oil composition) body becomes a source of additional fuel that allows the brain to compensate damage. How to comment on the study's authors, this effect fat diet on the body, struck Cockayne syndrome is a very positive finding, because at the moment there is no effective drug treatment of this disease.
