Abstract During starvation, mammalian brains can adapt their metabolism, switching from glucose to alternative peripheral fuel sources. In the Drosophila starved brain, memory formation is subject adaptative plasticity, but whether this adaptive plasticity relies on metabolic adaptation remains unclear. Here we show that during neurons of fly olfactory centre import and use ketone bodies (KBs) as an energy substrate sustain aversive formation. We identify local providers within cortex glia, own lipid store synthesize KBs before exporting them via monocarboxylate transporters. Finally, master sensor AMP-activated protein kinase regulates both mobilization KB export in glia. Our data provide a general schema interactions brain support when scarce.

Although lipid accumulation further droplet production disease models have observed for a long time, dynamic development research years suggests its diseases was previously underestimated. First recognized as organelles storage, droplets (LDs) emerged an organelle metabolic diseases, inflammation, host defense. Dynamic within neurons cells resulting formation are present various yet their remains largely unexplored. This paper first reviews several major lipids discusses regulation different types cells. We explore potential intracellular pathogenesis neurodegeneration, starting from LDs biogenesis cells, discuss factors that promote formation, mainly focusing on oxidative stress, energy cell-neuron coupling, which closely related to etiology Finally, directions challenges neurodegeneration discussed.

Carbohydrate metabolism is essential for cellular energy balance as well the biosynthesis of new building blocks. As animal nutrient intake displays temporal fluctuations and each cell type within possesses specific metabolic needs, elaborate regulatory systems are needed to coordinate carbohydrate in time space. regulated locally through gene networks signaling pathways, which receive inputs from sensors other such developmental signals. Superimposed on cell-intrinsic control, hormonal mediates intertissue information maintain organismal homeostasis. Misregulation causative many human diseases, diabetes cancer.

We will argue here that there is net lactate transfer from astrocytes to neurons and this important for brain function. Following CrossTalk guidelines, we focus on data published over the last decade. The astrocyte-to-neuron shuttle (ANLS) hypothesis was proposed based glutamate experiments with cultured cells (Pellerin & Magistretti, 1994). Later on, comparative NMR spectroscopy confirmed are more glycolytic than (Bouzier-Sore et al. 2006), a metabolic divergence has later been explained by constitutive inhibition of phosphofructokinase in but not astrocytes, which diverts neuronal glucose flux towards pentose phosphate pathway (Herrero-Mendez 2009). Since then, other signals have found be capable, like glutamate, commanding production and/or release specifically potassium ammonium (Bittner 2011; Choi 2012; Lerchundi 2015; Sotelo-Hitschfeld 2015). In all cases, findings culture were slices or vivo (see below). contrast, could find any reports presence physiological lactate, either at rest during electrical stimulation.

Astrocytes and microglia support well-being well-function of the brain through diverse functions in both intact injured brain. For example, astrocytes maintain homeostasis microenvironment up-taking ions neurotransmitters, provide growth factors metabolites for neurons, etc. Microglia keep surveying surroundings, remove abnormal synapses or respond to injury by isolating sites expressing inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, their loss and/or functional alteration may be directly linked diseases. Since Parkinson's disease (PD)-related genes are expressed microglia, mutations these alter cells, thereby contributing onset progression. Here, we review roles brain, discuss how PD regulate functions.
