Healthy
PET Study of Cerebral Metabolism of 11C-acetoacetate and 18F-FDG in Patients Under Moderate Ketosis
Regional brain glucose hypometabolism occurs during aging and may contribute to the onset of aging-related cognitive impairment in humans. Ketones are the main alternative energy substrate to glucose for the brain.
