Vitamin C and Glucose Metabolism: A Key to Cellular Health and Disease Prevention
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is widely recognized for its antioxidant and immune-boosting properties. However, recent research has revealed its significant role in glucose metabolism, impacting insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and chronic disease prevention. Understanding how vitamin C interacts with glucose metabolism is critical for maintaining metabolic health and preventing diseases such as diabetes and neurodegeneration.…
Glucose Metabolism, Neural Cell Senescence, and Alzheimer’s Disease
https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/23/8/4351 Another article on this subject: Impaired glucose metabolism in the brain contributes to neural cell aging (senescence) and the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Since the brain relies heavily on glucose for energy, disturbances in glucose metabolism can lead to oxidative stress, inflammation, and the buildup of toxic proteins like beta-amyloid (Aβ) and tau…
