We previously reported that megalin regulates energy homeostasis using blood-brain barrier (BBB) endothelial megalin-deficient (EMD) mice, since these animals developed obesity and metabolic syndrome upon normal chow diet administration. Obesity in mid-life appears to be related to greater dementia risk and represents an increasing global health issue. We demonstrated that EMD phenotype induced impaired learning ability and recognition memory, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, reduced neurogenesis, and mitochondrial deregulation associated with higher mitochondrial mass in cortical tissuesapplication/pdfengcc-by (c) Bartolome, Fernando et al., 2020http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esProteïnesObesitatDietaProteinsObesityDietEndothelial-specific deficiency of megalin in the brain protects mice against high-fat diet challengeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7080972021-03-25info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess22394503
