Abstract
- Aims: Extended fasting–postprandial switch intermitting time has been shown to affect Alzheimer's disease (AD). Few studies have investigated the cerebral perfusion response to fasting–postprandial metabolic switching (FMS) in AD patients. We aimed to evaluate the cerebral perfusion response to FMS in AD patients. Methods: In total, 30 AD patients, 32 mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, and 30 healthy control individuals (HCs) were included in the quantification of cerebral perfusion via cerebral blood flow (CBF). The cerebral perfusion response to FMS was defined as the difference (ΔCBF) between fasting and postprandial CBF. Results: Patients with AD had a regional negative ΔCBF in the anterior temporal lobe, part of the occipital lobe and the parietal lobe under FMS stimulation, whereas HCs had no significant ΔCBF. The AD patients had lower ΔCBF values in the right anterior temporal lobe than the MCI patients and HCs. ΔCBF in the anterior temporal lobe was negatively correlated with cognitive severity and cognitive reserve factors in AD patients. Conclusions: AD patients exhibited a poor ability to maintain cerebral perfusion homeostasis under FMS stimulation. The anterior temporal lobe is a distinct area that responds to FMS in AD patients and negatively correlates with cognitive function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
