Ketone Bodies Clear Damaged Proteins in the Brain - Neuroscience News
https://neurosciencenews.com/ketone-bodies-autophagy-28154/
Ketone bodies, known for their role in energy metabolism during fasting, have been shown to directly interact with damaged proteins in the brain, aiding their clearance through autophagy. Researchers discovered that the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate alters the solubility of misfolded proteins, facilitating their removal and reducing pathological aggregation.
