LONDON: Abnormal fat on the liver is common around the world, the severe nature of which causes many liver diseases, and now experts have linked it to the brain and mental health as it can affect psychology.


Professor Roger Williams from King's College London and experts from the University of Leuven in Switzerland said that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) reduces the supply of oxygen to the brain, which increases inflammation in the brain tissue. And thus the brain can be severely damaged in many ways.

 

25% of the world's population and 80% of obese people suffer from NAFLD due to lack of exercise, fast food, and lifestyle. Now it is known that fats accumulated in the liver can be very harmful to the brain.

In this regard, the experts divided the rats into two groups, one group was provided with 10 percent of the calories in the diet from fat, while the other group was consuming 55 percent of the calories from fats and oils that came from processed foods and soft drinks. was showing

 

After 16 weeks, both groups of mice were subjected to various tests, especially their liver and brain functions. All of the high-fat-fed mice developed NAFLD, increased insulin resistance, and impaired brain function.

 

In such mice, the amount of oxygen in the brain was reduced and inflammation increased. After that, the rats became restless and became restless, going into depression.

 

But mice fed a low-fat (10 percent) diet had neither increased liver fat nor insulin imbalance, and their brains remained healthy. But the negative brain effects of the fatty liver must have come to light as the cycle continues slowly over the years and the brain continues to be affected.

 

However, more scientific reasons for this need to be found, but it is believed that fatty liver itself reduces the production of a famous and important protein, MCT-1, and thus does not provide energy to the brain. Thus, fatty liver can lead to depression and decreased mental function.
