What does acetate do to the brain?
A portion of the acetate produced in the liver enters the circulation and can be used as energy in the brain. Whereas the brain normally relies on glucose for energy, acute alcohol causes a reduction in brain glucose metabolism and an increase in brain acetate metabolism (Pawlosky et al., 2010, Volkow et al., 2013).Aug 24, 2019
