Ketogenic diet's surprising impact on opioid sensitivity and withdrawal

Research investigates the effects of a ketogenic diet (KD) on responses to oxycodone, a commonly prescribed opioid for pain management. The study found sex-biased effects of KD on oxycodone responses in mice, suggesting potential implications for clinical pain management and treatment of opioid use disorder.

High-fat diets' eye-opening impact: Study reveals link to retinal damage and bisretinoid accumulation

In this study, the effects of a high-fat diet on the formation of bisretinoids in photoreceptor cells were explored. The results showed that mice on a high-fat diet had increased levels of bisretinoids and retinol-binding protein 4, which are associated with metabolic dysregulation.

Neuropathic pain study uncovers pathophysiological mechanism and promising therapeutic target

Neuropathic pain - abnormal hypersensitivity to stimuli - is associated with impaired quality of life and is often poorly managed. Estimates suggest that 3 percent to 17 percent of adults suffer from neuropathic pain, including a quarter of people with diabetes and a third of people with HIV.
