Does dietary fat composition matter in multiple sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. The etiology is still unknown, the disease is believed to be autoimmune. The immune dysregulation is affected by genetic and environmental factors. Relation to sun exposure, vitamin D levels, exposure to infectious pathogens as well as dietary habits, obesity and GUT microbiota have all been implicated in the pathogenesis. There are however no firm recommendations regarding diet in the treatment of MS. Our review deals with the available evidence from epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies that dietary fats may play an important role in MS pathogenesis.
