**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The circadian-gated ketone window hypothesis centers on the orchestrated regulation of OXCT1 (3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 1), the rate-limiting enzyme in ketone body utilization, through circadian metabolic programming. OXCT1 catalyzes the conversion of β-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate to acetyl-CoA, enabling ketone bodies to serve as alternative fuel sources for neural metabolism. This enzyme demonstrates tissue-specific expression patterns with highest ac
## Mechanistic Overview
Age-Stratified Ketone Dosing Matrix starts from the claim that modulating OXCT1 within the disease context of metabolic neuroscience can redirect a disease-relevant process.
