Sugar alters compounds that impact brain health in fruit flies

ANN ARBOR—When fruit flies are exposed to a high sugar diet, key metabolites associated with brain health become depleted, according to a University of Michigan study. This finding could tell researchers why behaviors that change with the internal energy state, such as food intake, learning and memory, and sleep, change on high-nutrient diets. When our … Continue reading Sugar alters compounds that impact brain health in fruit flies
