Requirement for oxidation of neuronal ketone bodies in aging and neurodegeneration
2026-03-27
Abstract excerpt
Glucose is the brain’s primary fuel, but the brain can also use alternative energy substrates, especially during development or starvation. Emerging evidence suggests ketone metabolism may help the brain adapt to energy stress in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, although its role in constitutive brain function in normal aging is poorly understood. Using iPSC-derived human neurons and adult-i...
