One possible mechanism by which nutritional characteristics or habits interact with damage and the brain was suggested by Hoane et al. This study revealed that a high-fat sucrose diet in animal models had a significantly negative impact on the outcome of brain injuries in terms of lesion size and neuronal and behavioral plasticity, probably due to a reduction of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) [98]. This evidence concerns the gene BDNF and brain injury.
