Mouse Model Data on Dietary Fatty Acids and Nerve Function in Obesity

96.3 KB of tabular data from a study on peripheral neuropathy in diet-induced obese mice. The dataset, authored by Nicolette V. Scott and last updated in April 2026, compares the effects of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids on nerve function and inflammation. It likely contains results from phenotyping tests and multiplex analyses of chemokines and cytokines.

Use Cases

• Correlating nerve conduction velocity (NCV) with cytokine levels like TNF-α and M-CSF based on the described analysis.
• Modeling the relationship between hind paw withdrawal impairment and inflammatory factors such as GM-CSF, IL-6, and VEGF.
• Comparing nerve function outcomes between diets enriched in saturated fatty acids (HFD-SFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (HFD-MUFA).
• Analyzing the reversal of nerve dysfunction following a dietary switch from HFD-SFA to HFD-MUFA.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a published experimental study with a clear methodological description.
• Includes results from multiple phenotyping tests (NCV, IENFD, hind paw withdrawal) and multiplex cytokine analysis.
• Licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 96.3 KB file size suggests a limited scope, likely containing summary or processed results rather than raw experimental data.
