New research reveals that visceral adipose tissue helps maintain brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, but this ...

“Surprisingly, not CX3CL1. It stays glued to the surface of the inner lining of blood vessels. There, it acts like a bait, ...

This fat releases a protein called CX3CL1, which in turn helps produce brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)—a protein ...

The researchers also identified an immune molecule, CX3CL1, which plays a key role in this process. This molecule attracts immune cells to the walls of blood vessels, thereby promoting inflammation ...

This figure illustrates a putative relationship between adipose CX3CL1 and brain BDNF, and its age-related changes. In young mice, steroid hormones contribute to maintaining brain BDNF levels via ...

Research revealed a link between belly fat and brain health, showing that CX3CL1 produced by visceral fat supports BDNF levels - vital for brain function. Could your belly fat be responsible for ...

A new study reveals a novel connection between aging of visceral adipose tissue and brain health. These findings are published in GeroScience. The research shows that the visceral adipose tissue ...
