Description
This study investigates the impact of social isolation and high-fat diet on neuroinflammation in the amygdala of adolescent rats. Using confocal microscopy, we examined the presence of microglia and astrocytes to assess neuroinflammation. Rats were divided into four groups: (1) socially isolated with high-fat diet, (2) socially isolated with regular diet, (3) group housed with high-fat diet, and (4) group housed with regular diet.
