 The brain almost exclusively uses glucose as a source of energy. The brain can also use two ketones, 3‐hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate.

 The selectivity of the blood–brain barrier makes the brain dependent on glucose as an energy substrate, and low concentrations decrease the level of consciousness.

 Twenty‐five percent of glucose is used for energy, and the remainder is used for protein synthesis (e.g. glutamic and aspartic acid) which are also used for energy in some cell pathways.
