Scientists fed pregnant mice high-fat diets, and observed their children to see if it affected their chances of developing Alzheimer's-like symptoms.
Eating a high-fat diet during pregnancy could prevent offspring from developing Alzheimer's disease later in life, according to scientists who studied mice.
The team tested the memory and spatial learning abilities of the offspring when they reached the age of 11 months and signs linked to Alzheimer's disease such as the build-up of amyloid beta amino acids, as well as how well their synapses worked. Eating a high-fat diet during pregnancy appears to protect offspring against developing Alzheimer's disease, the authors concluded in their paper published in the journalPraticò, Director of the Alzheimer's Center at Temple at the LewisSchool of Medicine, commented in a statement:"Our findings suggest that, to be effective, Alzheimer's disease prevention probably needs to start very early in life, during gestation.
However, as the study was carried out in rodents, it doesn't mean the same effect would necessarily be seen in humans.
