Intermittent Fasting Enhances Brain Waste Clearance and Cognitive Health

Intermittent Fasting Enhances Brain Waste Clearance and Cognitive Health

Intermittent fasting causes production of beta hydroxybutyrate which in turn helps improve the glymphatic flow of fluids in the brain. This leads to better waste clearance, potentially enhancing memory and staving off dementia.

Norepinephrine and the Glymphatic System's Role in Brain Health

Norepinephrine and the Glymphatic System's Role in Brain Health

During wakefulness, norepinephrine increases, aiding alertness but reducing waste clearance. Sleep lowers NE levels, enhancing glymphatic activity and promoting brain health. Understanding this balance highlights lifestyle's impact on brain wellness.

Abstract Synopsis

  • This review discusses how substances are cleared from the brain through perivascular pathways and the blood-brain barrier, with total clearance measured as the sum of all routes, including those pathways that help wash out water-soluble substances.
  • Evidence from experiments using labeled tracers like sucrose and albumin shows that perivascular clearance plays a role, especially for substances not eliminated across the blood-brain barrier, with different clearance rates depending on the substance's properties and transport mechanisms.
  • Although small molecules like inulin and water cross the blood-brain barrier via passive diffusion with low clearance rates, specific transporters facilitate the removal of compounds like glucose and lactate, while ions such as Na and Cl mainly move through tight junctions, indicating complex processes involved in maintaining brain chemical balance.]
