  1. Acute exercise alters brain glucose metabolism in aging and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 78 out of 100. The Journal of physiology 2024-09-11 Biomarkers

    There is evidence that aerobic exercise improves brain health.

  2. Glucose hypometabolism in temporoparietal lobes was significantly associated with altered EEG functional connectivity of the same regions of interest in clinically diagnosed MCI and AD patients and in patients with biomarker-verified AD pathology.

  3. Activation of brain glucose metabolism ameliorating cognitive impairment in APP/PS1 transgenic mice by electroacupuncture

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Free radical biology & medicine 2017-07-26 Biomarkers

    An essential feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is implicated in brain energy metabolic impairment that is considered underlying pathogenesis of cognitive impairment.

  4. A cross-sectional comparison of brain glucose and ketone metabolism in cognitively healthy older adults, mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Experimental gerontology 2017-07-12 Brain scans and imaging

    This quantitative kinetic PET and MRI imaging protocol for brain glucose and acetoacetate metabolism confirms that the brain undergoes structural atrophy and lower brain energy metabolism in MCI and AD and demonstrates that the deterioration in brain energy metabolism is specific to glucose.

  5. The neural substrates of memory systems impairment in Alzheimer's disease. A PET study of resting brain glucose utilization

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 1998-04-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Compared with controls, the patients as a group showed the expected memory and metabolic profiles of impairment.
