Diet-Dependent Cognitive Benefits of Exogenous Ketone Body Precursor, (R,S)-1,3,-Butanediol, in a Mouse Model of Tauopathy

Kyle Fulghum, Abdirahman Hayir, RUUSU ANKERIASNIEMI…·Peter A. Crawford

This study shows that (R,S)-1,3-butanediol improves memory in female tauopathy mice on chow but not on high-fat diets or after long-term use, highlighting sex and diet-dependent cognitive benefits.

Ketogenesis supports hepatic polyunsaturated fatty acid homeostasis via fatty acid elongation

Eric D. Queathem, Zahra Moazzami, David B. Stagg…·Patrycja Puchalska

The paper shows ketogenesis supports PUFA homeostasis in hepatocytes by enabling FA elongation, and its disruption leads to lipid imbalances similar to MASLD.
