Children with Epilepsy With Different Baseline Blood Beta‐hydroxybutyrate Have Similar Blood Beta‐hydroxybutyrate and Response on Ketogenic Therapy

The FASEB Journal, 2015
Background Children with epilepsy may have fasting blood beta‐hydroxybutyrate (BOB) similar to (low BOB) or higher than (high BOB) healthy children, which could reflect differences in metabolism or usual diet. BOB increases in children with epilepsy on Ketogenic Therapy (KT), where fat is most of the Calories ...

Enzymes of Poly-(beta)-Hydroxybutyrate Metabolism in Soybean and Chickpea Bacteroids [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1996
The enzymatic capacity for metabolism of poly-(beta)-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) has been examined in nitrogen-fixing symbioses of soybean (Glycine max L.) plants, which may accumulate substantial amounts of PHB, and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants, which contain little or no PHB.

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Beta-hydroxybutyrate, an endogenic NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, attenuates stress-induced behavioral and inflammatory responses [PDF]

, 2018
鳥取大学博士(医学)Neuro-inflammation has been shown to play a critical role in the development of depression. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is a ketone body and has recently been reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome. Here,

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Efficacy and safety of exogenous ketone bodies for preventive treatment of migraine: A study protocol for a single-centred, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover trial

Trials, 2019
Background Currently available prophylactic migraine treatment options are limited and are associated with many, often intolerable, side-effects. Various lines of research suggest that abnormalities in energy metabolism are likely to be part of migraine ...

Lipid specificity of beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activation.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1975
Beef heart mitochondrial beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase forms a catalytically active complex with lecithin and is inactive in the absence of lecithin. The specificity of the activation process was probed by studying the interaction of the enzyme with phospholipids and other compounds.

Ketogenic diet therapy for children with super‐refractory status epilepticus in intensive care: International clinical practice recommendations

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We aimed to create practical recommendations to support healthcare teams starting ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) for children with super‐refractory status epilepticus in intensive care settings. Methods A literature review was conducted to extract published data on patient selection, diet prescription, diet initiation, monitoring, fine‐
