Learning is improved by a soybean oil diet in rats

A semi-synthetic diet containing 20% polyunsaturated fat (soybean) oil was fed to young male hooded rats for 21 days. These animals exhibited improved performance on an environmentally-cued testing paradigm which is thought to reflect cognitive learning skills (i.e., Place Navigation Water Task). Ot...

description A semi-synthetic diet containing 20% polyunsaturated fat (soybean) oil was fed to young male hooded rats for 21 days. These animals exhibited improved performance on an environmentally-cued testing paradigm which is thought to reflect cognitive learning skills (i.e., Place Navigation Water Task). Other rats fed the same base diet but containing 20% saturated fat (lard) showed no such improvement compared to chow-fed (4.5% mixed fat) controls. The animals fed soybean oil also exhibited a transient resistance to extinguish this learning. This improved learning could not be explained by changes in general motor activity, basal body temperature, energy consumption, body weight, or in the brain activity of choline acetyltransferase, the marker enzyme for cholinergic neurons. These findings constitute the first evidence that short-term variations in the quality of dietary fat can enhance mammalian learning.
