| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed to elucidate the relationship between lipid metabolism and brain function in the mouse. To achieve the goal, we focus on LAMP-2 protein, a member of the autophagy system, and UCH-L1, a deubiquitinating enzyme in the ubiquitin system. We also studied the effect of diet on the mouse brain function.
We observed that the LAMP-2 system was involved in various metabolism including nucleic acids, and that a mouse strain without UCH-L1 expression showed a delay of dendritic spine maturation in brain cortex. We also observed that maternal high fat intake at the lactation period resulted in the suppression of dendritic spine maturation.
