Here are studies related to ketones, their effect on the brain and mitochondrial proliferation within the brain. Recall that ketosis can be produced from calorie restriction, a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet, or medium-chain triglycerides.
neuroprotective properties of potent tissue-specific effects of medium-chain fatty acids,
Induction of ketosis may improve mitochondrial function,
effects of a ketogenic diet on ATP concentrations and the number of hippocampal mitochondria
,
Mitochondrial biogenesis
Octanoate (C8), a medium-chain fatty acid, may contribute 20% of total brain energy production.
That's all for now. I'll be adding additional studies in the future.
