The Devastating Clinical Consequences of Child Abuse and Neglect: Increased Disease Vulnerability and Poor Treatment Response in Mood Disorders

Elizabeth T. C. Lippard et al.

Summary: A large body of evidence has demonstrated the long-term consequences of childhood maltreatment, which increases the risk for psychiatric and medical disorders. This review summarizes the effects of childhood maltreatment on vulnerability to mood disorders, highlighting the increased prevalence and associated risks. It discusses the persistent alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and inflammatory cytokines, as well as candidate genes, environmental factors, and neurobiological associations that may mediate these effects. The studies provide insights into modifiable mechanisms and guide treatment and prevention strategies.

Maternal High-Fat Diet Multigenerationally Impairs Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity and Memory in Male Rat Offspring

Cheng Lin et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that maternal consumption of a high-fat diet during pregnancy and lactation had multigenerational effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognitive function in male offspring. Central insulin resistance may play a crucial role in the link between maternal diet and cognitive impairment across generations.

Mitochondria and early-life adversity

Emily K. Zitkovsky et al.

Summary: Early-life adversity increases the lifelong risk for negative health outcomes, with mitochondria potentially playing a key role in transducing stress into biological risk for disease and interacting dynamically with physiological stress responses coordinated by the central nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Further research should investigate mitochondria as a potential therapeutic target following early-life adversity.

Stressful life events and openness to experience: Relevance to depression

Joshua Chiappelli et al.

Summary: This study found a significant association between stressful life events and openness to experience, with participants with a history of depression exhibiting higher levels of openness. Furthermore, openness to experience was related to overall intelligence but not processing speed or working memory. The findings suggest that openness to experience may partially mediate the relationship between stressful life events and depression in rural populations with high social and environmental homogeneity.

Dietary Management of Obesity: A Review of the Evidence

Nahla Hwalla et al.

Summary: Obesity is a multi-factorial disease with complex pathological mechanisms. The regulation of food intake and appetite involves multiple systems that are sensitive to environmental cues, potentially leading to overconsumption. Dieting may trigger metabolic responses that make weight loss more challenging.

Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in a rat model of co-morbid obesity and psychogenic stress

Jose M. Santiago Santana et al.

Summary: The study found that rats exposed to high-saturated fat diets and stress-induced anxiety exhibited significantly increased levels of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, which were positively correlated with body weight and anxiety behaviors. The results support a role for neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in heightened emotional reactivity to obesogenic environments and psychogenic stress.

Estrogens and the regulation of glucose metabolism

Maria Alemany

Summary: The main estrogens, estradiol, estrone, and their acyl-esters, play a crucial role in the sustained control of core energy metabolism in the body. They modulate metabolic responses through facilitation of insulin secretion, control of glucose availability, modulation of energy partition, functional protection via antioxidant mechanisms, and central effects on whole body energy management. Estrogens act as a powerful synergic action complex to regulate energy homeostasis.

Early-Life Stress Reprograms Stress-Coping Abilities in Male and Female Juvenile Rats

Maria Eugenia Pallares et al.

Summary: Prenatal stress impacts the stress-coping response and hippocampal molecular changes in juvenile offspring, while also potentially altering maternal behavior during early lactation. These effects are present in both sexes of offspring, with a greater influence observed in male offspring, indicating gender differences in the neurobehavioral changes induced by prenatal stress.

The Interplay between Child Maltreatment and Stressful Life Events during Adulthood and Cardiovascular Problems-A Representative Study

Vera Clemens et al.

Summary: The study found that the number of stressful life events experienced in adulthood is significantly associated with increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and myocardial infarction. This association is not influenced by experiences of child maltreatment. Both adult stressful life events and early life maltreatment are significantly and independently associated with cardiovascular health in the German population.
