Hypometabolism Reversal

Meaning

A therapeutic goal aimed at restoring a diminished or abnormally low metabolic rate in specific tissues, most notably the cerebral hypometabolism observed in aging or neurodegenerative conditions. This reversal involves the clinical deployment of strategies to increase cellular energy production and glucose utilization, thereby normalizing the tissue’s bioenergetic status. Successful reversal is correlated with improved functional outcomes and enhanced cellular resilience.
