BARCELONA, Spain , Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Results from a recent INC-funded intervention study were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition [1]. The study showed that, for older adults with overweight or obesity, longer-term consumption of mixed nuts significantly improved brain insulin sensitivity. This may be important for the prevention of age-related metabolic and cognitive diseases.

Key Points: 
  • The study showed that, for older adults with overweight or obesity, longer-term consumption of mixed nuts significantly improved brain insulin sensitivity.
  • Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was quantified using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while brain insulin sensitivity was assessed by measuring regional CBF responses to intranasal insulin.
  • The study found that nut consumption significantly improved insulin action in (occipital and frontal) brain regions involved in the modulation of metabolic and cognitive processes.
  • However, intrahepatic lipid content, serum LDL ("bad") cholesterol and systolic blood pressure were lower following nut consumption compared to the control period.
