Not exact matches

In addition, Dr. Pascual is overseeing national clinical trials that are testing whether triheptanoin (C7) oil improves the intellect of patients by providing their brains an alternative fuel to glucose.

An observational study has suggested the ketones produced when coconut oil is digested could provide an alternative fuel source for the nourishing brain.

Dr. Mary Newport writes about ketone bodies, an alternative fuel for your brain which your body makes when digesting coconut oil, and how coconut oil may offer profound benefits in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.

A case study documented by Dr. Mary Newport discusses ketone bodies, an alternative fuel for your brain, which can be produced when your body converts fat (as opposed to glucose) for energy.

While this provides the brain with an alternative fuel and has been shown to improve cognitive function, it does nothing to address the myriad other issues attendant with the metabolic derangement that is likely the root cause of AD.

The end result for an AD patient is that the brain is not metabolizing glucose effectively and no alternative fuels are available.

In the absence of an alternative fuel source, brain cells starve.

This provides an alternative energy source for the brain, which ordinarily uses glucose for fuel.

Ketones are the brain's main alternative fuel to glucose and brain ketone uptake is still normal in MCI and in early AD, which would help explain why ketogenic interventions improve some cognitive outcomes in MCI and AD.

If the primary pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease is reduced glucose usage in the brain, then the logical first step is to provide the brain with an alternative fuel, in the form of ketones.

Owing to the way a ketogenic diet provides an alternative fuel to the brain — transitioning from dependence on glucose to reliance on ketones — it's a logical and scientifically sound place to start.

Coconut oil is a medium chain triglyceride that is converted to ketones in the liver and then sent via the blood directly to the brain for an alternative fuel source.

Ketones have been shown to be an effective alternative fuel source for the brain in times of low glucose availability.

Ketone bodies, created when your body breaks down fat for energy, are an alternative fuel for your brain.

Ketone bodies flow from the liver to extra-hepatic tissues (e.g., brain) for use as a fuel; this spares glucose metabolism via a mechanism similar to the sparing of glucose by oxidation of fatty acids as an alternative fuel.

Therefore, ketone bodies flow from the liver to extra-hepatic tissues (e.g., brain) for use as a fuel; this spares glucose metabolism via a mechanism similar to the sparing of glucose by oxidation of fatty acids as an alternative fuel.

Strict compliance with this diet causes the liver to produce ketones which are used by the brain as an alternative fuel source.

(source) When deprived of the glucose your body and brain require for energy, the body begins to burn stored fat, and the liver produces an alternative fuel called ketones.

But MCTs from coconut oil trigger the metabolism of ketones in the liver, which the brain of Alzheimer's patients easily accepts and uses as an alternative fuel.
