A specific combination of omega-3 fatty acids with
precursors and cofactors in membrane synthesis was
developed for the dietary management of AD, specifically
to enhance the formation of neuronal membranes and
synapses. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a
specific multi-nutrient diet is able to positively
influence brain connectivity and vascular health in a
mouse model for AD vascular risk factor (apoE4). Resting
state functional MRI and cerebral blood flow were
assessed by MRI at 11.7T. Results showed enhanced
perfusion, increased neural connectivity; and increased
number of post-synapses in animals fed with a
multi-nutrient diet.
