Dynamic Connectivity Under Metabolic Constraints
The investigators are studying the impact of insulin resistance on the acceleration of brain aging and testing whether increased neuron insulin resistance can be counteracted by utilization of alternate metabolic pathways (e.g., ketones rather than glucose). This study has three Arms, which together provide synergistic data. For all three Arms, subjects are tested in a within-subjects design that consists of 2-3 testing sessions, 1-14 days apart, and counter-balanced for order. Impact of fuel (glucose in one session, ketones in the other) on brain metabolism and associated functioning is measured during each session. For Arms 1-2, the primary experimental measure is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which is used to trace the self-organization of functional networks following changes in energy supply and demand. Arm 1 tests the impact of endogenous ketones produced by switching to a low carbohydrate diet, while Arm 2 tests the impact of exogenous ketones consumed as a nutritional supplement. For Arm 3, simultaneous magnetic resonance spectroscopy/positron-emission tomography (MR/PET) is used to quantify the impact of exogenous ketones on production of glutamate and GABA, key neurotransmitters.
Subjects will be given the option to participate in more than one of the Arms, but doing so is not expected nor required.
Prior to scans, subjects will receive a clinician-administered History and Physical (H&P), which includes vital signs, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and the comprehensive metabolic blood panel. These will be used to assess diabetes, kidney disease, and electrolytes. If subjects pass screening, they will be provided the option to participate in one or more Arms, which include neuroimaging. To provide a quantitative measure of time-varying metabolic activity throughout the scan, based upon quantitative models of glucose and ketone regulation, as well as to be able to implement safety stopping rules (see below), the investigators will obtain pin-prick blood samples three times: prior to the scan, following consumption of the glucose or ketone drink, and following completion of the scan. To assess effects of increased metabolic demand, the investigators measure brain response to cognitive load, transitioning from resting-state to spatial reasoning through a spatial navigation video task. To assess effects of increased metabolic supply, the investigators measure brain response to glucose or ketone bolus.

---|---|
Experimental: Arm 1: Metabolic Manipulation via Diet fMRI
All subjects are tested three times, each in a different diet-induced metabolic state: glycolytic (glucose burning), fasting (8 hours no food), and ketotic (fat burning).
While having their brains scanned with MRI, subjects are initially tested at rest, and then perform a task.
Midway through the session, subjects are removed from the scanner and drink up to 75g glucose.
Data analyses quantify network reorganization in response to changing energy constraints (i.e., cognitive demand, fuel).

Supplement administered mid-scan.

Experimental: Arm 2: Metabolic Manipulation via Ketone Supplement fMRI
All subjects are tested twice, both times in a fasting condition (8 hours no food, unrestricted water).
While having their brains scanned with MRI, subjects are initially tested at rest, and then perform a task.
Midway through the session, subjects are removed from the scanner and drink either of two fuel sources.
In the ketotic (ketone burning) session they will drink a ketone sports drink dosed at 395mg/kg.
During the glycolytic (glucose burning) session the same subjects will drink a bolus of glucose, calorie-matched to the ketones.
Data analyses quantify network reorganization in response to changing energy constraints (i.e., cognitive demand, fuel).

Experimental: Arm 3: Metabolic Manipulation via Ketone Supplement MR/PET
All subjects are tested twice, both times in a fasting condition (8 hours no food, unrestricted water).
For both sessions, the investigators will intravenously administer the FDG radioisotope continuously throughout the scan.
Thus, PET will map glucose uptake across the brain, while MRS is simultaneously used to measure production of the neurotransmitters glutamine and GABA.
