Increased levels of protein carbonyls are observed in neurons following a Western diet. The level of protein carbonyl immunoreactivity appears to be increased in individual neurons within the frontal cortex following a WD, with APP × PS1 mice exhibiting enhanced numbers of neurons with carbonyl immunoreactivity when compared with non-transgenic littermates on a WD. Data represent the results from at least six mice in each experimental condition.
