**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The dual-phase medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) intervention targets key enzymes in ketogenic metabolism, specifically 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A), to address the progressive metabolic dysfunction underlying neurodegeneration. HMGCS2, the rate-limiting enzyme in ketogenesis, catalyzes the condensation of acetoacetyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is subsequently converted to keto
## Mechanistic Overview
Astrocyte Metabolic Memory Reprogramming starts from the claim that modulating SIRT1 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process.
