- Abstract
Glucose represents one of the most important physiological factors that determine an adequate function of cells throughout the body, including brain cells. An inadequate glycemic control might compromise global brain functions. Several studies have pointed out that glucose level disorders determined by daily food intake might have a negative influence on cognitive performance. In order to clarify the effects of fasting on the efficiency of attentional networks, we evaluated 21 healthy young adults (19 women) with an age range from 18 through 21. Participants attended two sessions in two experimental conditions (in counterbalanced order): fasting of approximately 15 hours, and breakfast. In both sessions, glucose levels were measured before responding to the cognitive task. We measured attentional efficiency with the Attention Network Test (ANT). Efficiency of attentional networks was compared between conditions, and correlation indexes were obtained. Our data show a negative relation between glucose levels and control network efficiency.
