Pregnant Mouse’s High-Fat Diet Triggers Rewiring in Pups’ Brains
Scientists studied pregnant mice on a high-fat diet. In findings appearing in the journal Nature Metabolism, they found that mom’s high-fat diet triggers immune cells in the developing brains of male but not female mouse pups to overconsume the mood-influencing brain chemical serotonin, leading to depressed-like behavior.
