Coconut Oil Saturated Fatty Acids Improved Energy Homeostasis but not Blood Pressure or Cognition in VCD-Treated Female Mice

Ke Sui et al.

Summary: Obesity, cardiometabolic disease, cognitive decline, and osteoporosis are symptoms of postmenopause. This study investigated the effects of different dietary fat types on the symptoms of estrogen deficiency in VCD-treated mice. The results show that a low LA:SFA ratio diet improves weight gain and glucose tolerance, but increases blood pressure and impairs spatial cognition in estrogen-deficient mice.

High-fat diet exacerbates cognitive decline in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and mixed dementia in a sex-dependent manner

Olivia J. Gannon et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of diet-induced prediabetes and biological sex on cognitive function and neuropathology in mouse models of AD and MxD. The results showed that high-fat diet had more severe metabolic, cognitive, and neuropathological consequences in AD and MxD females compared to males.

Hepatic adropin is regulated by estrogen and contributes to adverse metabolic phenotypes in ovariectomized mice

Joshua Stokar et al.

Summary: Menopause is associated with visceral adiposity, hepatic steatosis, and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. This study found that ovariectomy-induced metabolic derangement in adult female mice, and hepatic adropin, regulated by estrogen, was negatively correlated with adverse post-menopausal metabolic phenotypes, which were partially reversed with adropin treatment.

Cerebral arteriolar and neurovascular dysfunction after chemically induced menopause in mice

Jade A. Blackwell et al.

Summary: Menopause is associated with increased myogenic tone in cerebral parenchymal arterioles. Smooth muscle cell BKCa channel activity is impaired without a reduction in endothelium-dependent dilation or nitric oxide production. Microvascular dysfunction is related to reduced neurovascular responses after somatosensory stimulation. Despite the neurovascular impairment, cognitive abilities are maintained in menopausal mice.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of diet, ovariectomy, and TBT exposure on bone structure in mice, finding that TBT can protect against trabecular bone loss to some extent, especially under a low-fat diet.

Dietary essential amino acids restore liver metabolism in ovariectomized mice via hepatic estrogen receptor α

Sara Della Torre et al.

Summary: Post-menopausal metabolic changes and potential chronic diseases can be mitigated through a diet rich in specific amino acids that targets hepatic ER alpha, according to a study using a mouse model of menopause. Liver-specific ER alpha plays a key role in controlling lipid metabolism and preventing weight gain in this context.

Estradiol treatment or modest exercise improves hepatic health and mitochondrial outcomes in female mice following ovariectomy

Kelly N. Z. Fuller et al.

Summary: Compared with males, female mice have increased hepatic mitochondrial respiratory capacity and are protected against high-fat diet-induced steatosis. Removal of estrogen impairs hepatic mitochondrial function and liver health, and estradiol replacement and modest exercise can aid in rescuing this phenotype. OVX induces hepatic steatosis in sedentary mice, which can be prevented by modest physical activity (VWR) and/or estradiol treatment.
