Abstract
Exercise and fasting may improve brain health and reduce neurodegeneration.
- The relationship between exercise, fasting, and mitochondrial quality control mechanisms is not well understood.
- Mitochondrial quality control includes processes like the removal of damaged mitochondria.
- Mitophagy, a key component of mitochondrial quality control, may be influenced by exercise and fasting.
- Further research is needed to clarify the acute effects of these interventions on brain health.
