Metabolic reprogramming for cancer cells and their microenvironment: Beyond the Warburg Effect.

TL;DR: The reciprocal regulation of cancer cell's metabolic alterations and the microenvironment, involving extensive host immune cells and microbiota, have come into view as critical mechanisms to regulate cancer progression and are shaping the current and future paradigm of cancer metabolism.

Ketogenic diet enhances neurovascular function with altered gut microbiome in young healthy mice

TL;DR: The findings suggest that ketogenic diet intervention started in the early stage may enhance brain vascular function, increase beneficial gut microbiota, improve metabolic profile, and reduce risk for AD.

Feasibility and efficacy data from a ketogenic diet intervention in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: The feasibility and cognitive effects of a ketogenic diet in participants with Alzheimer's disease are assessed and the benefits and risks of the diet are compared.

A Mitochondrial Paradigm of Metabolic and Degenerative Diseases, Aging, and Cancer: A Dawn for Evolutionary Medicine

TL;DR: The mitochondria provide a direct link between the authors' environment and their genes and the mtDNA variants that permitted their forbears to energetically adapt to their ancestral homes are influencing their health today.

Glutamate uptake into astrocytes stimulates aerobic glycolysis: a mechanism coupling neuronal activity to glucose utilization

TL;DR: It is reported that glutamate, in addition to its receptor-mediated actions on neuronal excitability, stimulates glycolysis--i.e., glucose utilization and lactate production--in astrocytes and is consistent with data obtained from functional brain imaging studies indicating local nonoxidative glucose utilization during physiological activation.

Caloric Restriction Delays Disease Onset and Mortality in Rhesus Monkeys

TL;DR: Findings of a 20-year longitudinal adult-onset CR study in rhesus monkeys aimed at filling this critical gap in aging research demonstrate that CR slows aging in a primate species.

Focal physiological uncoupling of cerebral blood flow and oxidative metabolism during somatosensory stimulation in human subjects.

TL;DR: Dynamic, physiological regulation of CBF by a mechanism (neuronal or biochemical) dependent on neuronal firing per se, but independent of the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen, is hypothesized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonoxidative glucose consumption during focal physiologic neural activity

TL;DR: Transient increases in neural activity cause a tissue uptake of glucose in excess of that consumed by oxidative metabolism, acutely consume much less energy than previously believed, and regulate local blood flow for purposes other than oxidative metabolism.
