Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at the Scientific Research Institute of Neurosciences and Medicine in Novosibirsk, Russia, explored the effects of dietary phospholipid (PL) supplementation on social behavior in mice. The study found that male mice fed a high PL diet showed a decreased preference for female odor and failed to discriminate socially significant scents. Additionally, the PL supplementation affected the social behavior of the male mice, causing them to behave indiscriminately towards male and female intruders. The researchers suggest that certain PLs may suppress pheromone perception in the olfactory system and impact the recognition of socially important odor cues. [Extracted from the article]
