Experiment

Influence of control or western diet on brain metabolites in C57bl/6 or LDLr-/-
mice
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Rutledge, John
Description Recent work suggests that diet and its effect on systemic and brain metabolism
impacts cognitive function and predisposition to dementia. We hypothesized that
diet or genetic predisposition to hyperlipidemia perturbs brain metabolism and
induces neuroinflammation that impairs cognitive performance. Therefore we first
aim to determine if and how western diet and/or LDLr-/- influence brain
metabolites. C57BL/6 or LDLr-/- mice are subjected to either a Western diet or
control diet starting at 8 weeks of age for 3 months. Frozen brain hemisphere
samples from 4 mice per group (16 total) will be subjected to LC-MS, GC-MS to
determine metabolic profiles including: biogenic amines, primary metabolites,
complex lipids, and oxylipins.
