High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy with impaired glucose uptake and psychosis-related higher brain dysfunctions in mice

Caption

Excessive sucrose intake during adolescence cause cellular damage in non-neuronal cell groups, inhibiting the uptake of glucose from the blood into the brain parenchyma, leading to dysfunctions of certain neurons that cause the major symptoms of psychiatric disorders.
