## Mechanistic Overview Astrocyte MCT1/MCT4 Ratio Disruption with Metabolic Uncoupling starts from the claim that modulating SLC16A1 within the disease context of Alzheimer's Disease can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## 1. Molecular Mechanism and Rationale The astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS) is a fundamental metabolic coupling mechanism where astrocytes convert glucose to lactate via aerobic glycolysis and export it to neurons for oxidative metabol
