Fox News
Researchers announced earlier this month that they had found a link between a western diet and cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in a study using mice.
Na,K-ATPase is a cellular sodium-potassium pump and adipocytes are fat cells and are the major energy storage sites in the body.
To reach these conclusions, the group used a gene-altered mouse model, feeding the mice either a normal diet or a western diet for 12 weeks.
