The consumption of vegetable oils and their possible participation as a neuroprotector

Abstract

Neurodegenerative disorders are associated with causes such as induction of oxidative stress, alterations in Ca2+ homeostasis, abnormal protein aggregation, inflammatory processes, excitotoxicity, and apoptosis. In addition to the above, the food transition in recent years has led to changes in dietary patterns, increasing the consumption of ultra-processed and processed foods that can lead to lipotoxicity and induce oxidative stress. Nutraceutical components present in vegetable oils can be considered as an alternative for neuroprotection through the regulation of oxidative stress.
