Veech Ketone Ester to Support Brain Energy in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Early Alzheimer's Disease
Simultaneous PET/MR Imaging of Brain Glucose and Oxygen Metabolism to Assess Energy Deficits Related to Alzheimer's Disease and the Response to Intervention
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
It is projected that by 2030, one in every five Americans will be of retirement age, and this demographic shift is expected to result in more people suffering from dementia. A key feature of the brain is its need for a constant supply of glucose and oxygen to meet the high energy costs of mental activity. This study aims to develop clinically practical, noninvasive imaging methods based on combined positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to assess brain energy in order to better understand how this critical component of brain health is impacted by aging.
