主导这项实验的是来自于西雅图华盛顿州立大学大学糖尿病与肥胖症研究中心的Joshua Thaler教授,他透露科学家还发现了一种应对这种伤害的复原机制,名叫胶质细胞增生。
He said: 'Gliosis is thought to be the brain equivalent of wound healing and is typically seen in conditions of neuronal injury, such as stroke and multiple sclerosis.
他说:“胶质细胞增生发生在大脑中就相当于身体伤口的自动愈合,这种情况通常发生在出现神经元的损伤时,例如中风和多发性硬化症等等。”
Dr Thaler said: 'The possibility that brain injury may be a consequence of the over-consumption of a typical American diet offers a new explanation for why sustained weight loss is so difficult for most obese individuals to achieve.
Thaler教授说:“大脑的损伤可能是由于过量的摄入高热量食物而造成的后果,这可能也解释了对于胖人来说,减肥为何会是如此的困难。”
'It is not yet clear whether this presumed neuronal injury is permanent, but it may contribute to weight gain.
“现在我们并不太清楚这种神经元的损伤是否是永久性的,不过这却导致了体重的增加。”
'If new medicines can be designed that limit neuron injury during overeating, they may be effective in combating the obesity epidemic.'
“如果能研发一种应对在暴饮暴食的情况下阻止神经元免受伤害的药物,那么它将有利于避免肥胖的出现。”
