AB Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), essential molecules whose precursorsmust be dietary supplied, are highly represented in the brain contributing to numerous neuronal processes. Recent findings have demonstrated that LCPUFA are represented in lipid raft microstructures,where they favor molecular interactions of signaling complexes underlying neuronal functionality.During aging, the brain lipid composition changes affecting the lipid rafts’ integrity and protein signaling, which may induce memory detriment. We investigated the effect of a n-3 LCPUFA-enricheddiet on the cognitive function of 6- and 15-months-old female mice. Likewise, we explored theimpact of dietary n-3 LCPUFAs on hippocampal lipid rafts, and their potential correlation withaging-induced neuroinflammation. Our results demonstrate that n-3 LCPUFA supplementationimproves spatial and recognition memory and restores the expression of glutamate and estrogenreceptors in the hippocampal lipid rafts of aged mice to similar profiles than young ones. Additionally, the n-3 LCPUFA-enriched diet stabilized the lipid composition of the old mice’s hippocampallipid rafts to the levels of young ones and reduced the aged-induced neuroinflammatory markers.Hence, we propose that n-3 LCPUFA supplementation leads to beneficial cognitive performanceby “rejuvenating” the lipid raft microenvironment that stabilizes the integrity and interactions ofmemory protein players embedded in these microdomains.
