Investigation of the Relationship Between Peripheral and Central Metabolic Changes Caused by Fasting

Fasting has become an increasingly popular intervention for improving both physical and mental health. This study aims to explore the biological mechanisms underlying the positive effects of low caloric fasting (Wilhelmi-Buchinger-fasting). Specifically, we focus on the metabolic transition from glucose to fat utilization and its effects on systemic and brain metabolism. By examining the relationship between peripheral metabolic changes and brain metabolism, this research aims to uncover how these shifts influence brain metabolism and behaviour.
