EFFECTS OF A FAT DIET ON THE BLOOD CELLS OF THE RAT BRAIN

The purpose of this article was to establish the nature of changes in the blood vessels of the brain under the influence of a fat diet. The effects of diet on the brain are the most controversial compared to other organs. At the same time, it is known that any changes in the brain occur around the «vessel – astrocyte – neuron» microaxis. At the same time, the leading role is played by the blood vessel at the level of microhemocirculation, where the continuous unity of blood supply, metabolism and neurohumarolic regulation is most clearly manifested. For a long time, it was believed that metabolism in the brain is glycocentric, insulin-independent, aerobic. Only in recent years has there been information about the possibility of metabolism in the brain along the lipocentric pathway, in which glycolysis slows down and lipolysis and B-oxidation of fatty acids are activated.
