    Fatty acid amides present in Camembert cheese improved cognitive decline after oral administration in mice

    Abstract
    Herein, we investigated the effects of Camembert cheese (CC) and its fatty acid contents on cognitive function in mice by employing the object recognition test to evaluate hippocampus-dependent memory. Orally administered CC improved the cognitive decline induced by a high-fat diet. Next, we focused on myristamide (MA), oleamide, and stearamide, which are fatty acid amides produced during the fermentation process of CC. We found that oral administration of MA improved cognitive decline. Notably, an improvement was not observed using myristic acid, a free fatty acid that is not amidated. Thus, fatty acid amidation may contribute to the physiological activity. Moreover, we investigated changes in gene expression related to neurogenesis in the hippocampus. After MA administration, mRNA expression analysis indicated that MA increased hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression.

    No, but I am susceptible to infection by S. Aureus, Klebsiella, P. Aeruginosa and the others, and have seen all of these kill people in ICU because suitable antibiotics had not yet been found, so I'll consider this to be good news.

    Steve, my comment was satire. I was just "horsing" around.

    Good to know, I wondered. I thought “hmm, he’s usually smarter than that “. But, there are people who think that way.

    How Fiber Fuels Anti-Cancer Gene Activity

    Key Facts

    Anti-Cancer Effects: Short-chain fatty acids from fiber digestion directly modulate genes that regulate cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis.
    Global Mechanism: These fatty acids circulate throughout the body, suggesting fiber’s widespread influence on gene function.
    Diet Deficiency: Less than 10% of Americans consume the recommended daily fiber intake, limiting these protective benefits.
