Neuronal activity in the anterior paraventricular nucleus of thalamus positively correlated with #sweetener consumption in mice

aledopress

Although the brain can discriminate between various sweet substances, the underlying neural mechanisms of this complex behavior remain elusive. This study examines the role of the anterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (aPVT) in governing sweet preference in mice. We fed the mice six different diets with equal sweetness for six weeks: control diet (CD),… Continue reading Neuronal activity in the anterior paraventricular nucleus of thalamus positively correlated with #sweetener consumption in mice

Rebaudioside affords hepatoprotection ameliorating sugar sweetened beverage- induced nonalcoholic #steatohepatitis

aledopress

Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is a known independent risk factor for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Non-caloric sweeteners (NCS) are food additives providing sweetness without calories and are considered safe and/or not metabolized by the liver. The potential role of newer NCS in the regulation of NASH, however, remain unknown. Our study aimed to determine the impact of… Continue reading Rebaudioside affords hepatoprotection ameliorating sugar sweetened beverage- induced nonalcoholic #steatohepatitis
