The pituitary gland may still receive the signal from sermorelin, but the overall GH output can be diminished when alcohol is present in the system
An analysis of resting-state functional connectivity across eight brain networks in the MCI subjects in this clinical trial was published in a separate paper (22), demonstrating that after MCT supplementation, the connectivity in one of the eight networks, the dorsal attention network (DAN), was 59% higher compared to the placebo group, which was also associated with better scores in some cognitive tests (22)
17,18,19,20,21 This increase in synaptic glutamate occurs because of decreased tone and function of the extrasynaptic metabotropic glutamate autoreceptors, mGluR2/3, which normally inhibits synaptic glutamate release (this decreased inhibition leads to increased synaptic glutamate) 17,20 and decreased function of glial glutamate transporter-1, which causes reduced glutamate elimination from extracellular space resulting in spillover of synaptic glutamate
