Neurodegeneration in an animal model of Parkinson's disease is exacerbated by a high-fat diet

"diet high in fat and the resulting insulin resistance may lower the threshold for developing PD, at least following DA-specific toxin exposure."

Absence of TLR2 Protect Against Insulin Resistace from High Fat Diet~!

According to the author, this study presents evidence TLR2 is a molecular link between increased dietary lipid intake and the regulation of glucose homeostasis, via regulation of energy substrate utilisation and tissue inflammation.

High Fat Diet Alters Testosterone and Cortisol Levels in Healthy Volunteers.

Title: Effect of meal fat content on salivary testosterone and cortisol levels in healthy female volunteers.

Summary: "indicate that the amount of fat consumed in a meal, can influence postprandial levels of salivary testosterone and cortisol and their circadian rhythm profile. Such an effect on steroid hormones might have an impact on the person’s daily activities and general health and wellbeing."
