This project examines the role of ketone bodies in brain metabolism, particularly during neonatal development and under metabolic stress. It aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms by which ketone bodies influence neuronal activity, potentially impacting treatments for neurological disorders.
The brain’s high metabolic requirements mean that the mantra of nutritionists worldwide, “You are what you eat!” could be more accurately phrased, “you are what your brain metabolises!”.
While glucose provides the major source of energy for the brain, ketone bodies (KBs) also play a critical role during the neonatal period, during fasting and during periods of metabolic stress (1,2,3).
The ability of KBs to powerfully modulate neuronal activity is highlighted by the fact that the ketogenic diet…
