This study is in rats.
The authors postulate that stearoyl-CoA desaturase (an enzyme that unsaturates saturated fatty acids) increases as a possible "protection" against obesity and other ill-effects seen in the rats (elevated insulin, elevated glucose, etc.)
A High-Fructose-High-Coconut Oil Diet Induces Dysregulating Expressions of Hippocampal Leptin and Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase, and Spatial Memory Deficits in Rats
It's interesting as when I was on a super high sugar diet from fruits and juices (regardless of how much saturated fat I consumed), I had memory issues, gained a lot of weight, and horrible hunger.
Now that I dropped most of the sugar and upped the saturated fats (dairy and red meat, primarily), everything appears to be beginning to normalize, slowly but surely.
I wonder what people's thoughts are, as this is sort of runs counter to what some Peat might say.
