Lower Brain ¹⁸ F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake But Normal ¹¹ C-Acetoacetate Metabolism in Mild Alzheimer's Disease Dementia

Abstract

Regional brain energy substrate hypometabolism in mild AD dementia may be specific to impaired glucose uptake and/or utilization. This suggests a potential avenue for compensating brain energy deficit in AD dementia with ketones.
