Even in rodents that were not obese and healthy at the time of the study, fast food, in this case a high-fat food, caused inflammation and characteristic pain. With regular use of fast food, the pain became chronic.
The reason, according to experts, is the effect of fatty foods on the TLR4 receptor associated with nerve cells.
The results of the research will help doctors find ways to prevent inflammation in humans.
