Model of mechanisms underlying the therapeutic potential of time-restricted eating in Huntington’s disease (HD). Scheduled daily eating and fasting, known as time-restricted eating (TRE), in HD and non-HD human and animal studies reveals that the practice increases autophagic activity which is thought to decrease aggregation of the mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT), stimulates production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), improves metabolic functions, promotes oxidative stress resistance, decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS), and improves measures of circadian rhythm function.
