Involvment of docosanoïc acid (C22=0), and of very long chain fatty acids (tetracosanoïc acid (C24=0), hexacosanoïc acid (C26=0) in Alzheimer's disea…

In the brain and in the plasma of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), marked accumulation of C22:0 and of very long chain fatty acids (C24:0 ; C26:0) have been reported. Important decreases of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6 n-3) have also been described as well as quantitative and qualitative modifications of plasmalogens. Altogether, these lipid modifications suggest an implication of peroxisomal metabolism disorders in the physiopathology of AD. Therefore, the biological activities of C22:0, C24:0 and C26:0 have been studied on human neuronal cells SK-N-BE. On these cells, the lipotoxicity of fatty acids (C22:0, C24:0 and C26:0) leads to various cellular modifications: topographical…
Impact of 7-Ketocholesterol and Very Long Chain Fatty Acids on Oligodendrocyte Lipid Membrane Organization: Evaluation Via LAURDAN and FAMIS Spectral…
2011
International audience; In the context of multiple sclerosis and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, 7-ketocholesterol (7KC) and very long chain fatty acids (C24:0, C26:0) are supposed to induce side effects respectively on oligodendrocytes which are myelin (which is a lipoproteic complex) synthesizing cells. The effects of 7KC (25, 50 mu M), C24:0 and C26:0 (10, 20 mu M) on cell viability and lipid membrane organization were investigated on 158N murine oligodendrocytes. Concerning 7KC and fatty acids (at 20 mu M only):1) cell growth was strongly inhibited; 2) marked induction of cell death was revealed with propidium iodide (PI); 3) no apoptotic cells were found with C24:0 and C26:0 (absence of…
Etude du contrôle hédonique de la prise alimentaire par l'analyse des potentiels évoqués gustatifs
2016
Hedonic control of food intake has been studied using neurophysiological investigations in animals and functional imaging in humans. Gustatory evoked potentials (GEPs), a higher time resolution technique than functional imaging, have never been used for this purpose. The first aim of this thesis was to establish a reliable recording of GEPs in humans, in response to a sapid stimulus. The second aim was to determine the GEPs modifications according to the hedonic value of food intake. GEPs recording was performed in response to an intermittent stimulation of a sapid solution in more than 100 young healthy subjects. The comparisons between cerebral recordings in response to water or paraffin …
