Weak neuronal glycolysis sustains cognition and organismal fitness
2023-09-03
Abstract excerpt
The energy cost of neuronal activity is mainly sustained by glucose 1,2 . However, in an apparent paradox, neurons only weakly metabolize glucose through glycolysis 3,4,5,6 , a circumstance that can be accounted for by the constant degradation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase-3 (Pfkfb3) 3,7,8 , a key glycolysis-promoting enzyme. To evaluate the in vivo physiological significance of this...
