Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that represents a link between diet-induced inflammation and insulin resistance. Our aim was to examine whether fructose diet affects inflammation and insulin signaling in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of Mif knockout mice (MIF-KO), and their possible link to neural plasticity and behavior. We analyzed
