Abstract
Background/Aims: The consumption of long-chain saturated fatty acids induces hypothalamic inflammation associated with insulin and leptin resistance. In contrast, bioactive compounds such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and L-theanine (L-THE) were reported to exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study determined the effect of EGCG on mitochondria morphology and L-THE on mitochondrial morphology and the expression of pro-inflammatory markers in cultured hypothalamic neurons (mHypoE-N42) after palmitic acid (PA) challenge.
