Cognitive effects of high glycemic index diet + sHE inhibitor trans-AUCB or
HGI-curcumin diet on mice.

Summary

Data Summary

Investigator	Villablanca, Amparo
Description	Male and female C57BL/6J mice (~20 weeks) were place on a control (TD.08485) or HGI diet (TD.05230) and treated with the sHE inhibitor, trans-AUCB, via drinking water (1%w/v + PEG). In addition, a second group of animals were placed on a HGI diet + curcumin (polyphenol) (TD. 190668). Diet was provided for ~3 months prior to assessing cognitive function by y-maze. Mice were adapted to testing room for 30 min, were placed in the center of the Y-maze and were tracked with an overhead camera for the extent of a 8-min trial. An elevated white plastic Y-maze with three 35 cm arms at 120-degree angles. Entry into each arm was counted and alternations and max alterations was determined. An alternation is counted if the subject enters all arms consecutively without repeat. Max alternation is the total number of possible alternations (total # of arm visits -2). The % alternation score is the number of alternations divided by max alternation and an indicator of spatial memory.
