Combination of triheptanoin with the ketogenic diet in Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency (G1D) [PDF]
Fuel influx and metabolism replenish carbon lost during normal neural activity. Ketogenic diets studied in epilepsy, dementia and other disorders do not sustain such replenishment because their ketone body derivatives contain four carbon atoms and are ...

Glucose transporter deficiency syndrome type 1: a case report
The authors present a unique clinical observation of the case of a hereditary deficiency of a type 1 glucose transporter, also called de Vivo disease. The type 1 glucose transporter deficiency syndrome (OMIM: 606777, ORPHA: 71277) is an extremely rare ...

Clinical Aspects of Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency: Information From a Global Registry. [PDF]
Case reports regularly document unique or unusual aspects of glucose transporter type 1 deficiency (G1D). In contrast, population studies from which to draw global inferences are lacking. Twenty-five years after the earliest case reports, this deficiency still particularly affects treatment and prognostic counseling.To examine the most common features ...

A simple blood test expedites the diagnosis of glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome. [PDF]
Glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) deficiency syndrome (GLUT1‐DS) leads to a wide range of neurological symptoms. Ketogenic diets are very efficient to control epilepsy and movement disorders. We tested a novel simple and rapid blood test in 30 patients with GLUT1‐DS with predominant movement disorders, 18 patients with movement disorders attributed to

Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome and the ketogenic diet. [PDF]
AbstractGlucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS) is characterised by deficient glucose transport over the blood‐brain barrier and reduced glucose availability in the brain. This causes epilepsy, movement disorders, and cognitive impairment. Treatment with ketogenic diet provides ketones as alternative energy source.

One Molecule for Mental Nourishment and More: Glucose Transporter Type 1—Biology and Deficiency Syndrome [PDF]
Glucose transporter type 1 (Glut1) is the main transporter involved in the cellular uptake of glucose into many tissues, and is highly expressed in the brain and in erythrocytes. Glut1 deficiency syndrome is caused mainly by mutations of the SLC2A1 gene,

Maximum dose, safety, tolerability and ketonemia after triheptanoin in glucose transporter type 1 deficiency (G1D) [PDF]
Augmentation of anaplerosis, or replenishment of carbon lost during intermediary metabolic transitions, is desirable in energy metabolism defects. Triheptanoin, the triglyceride of 7-carbon heptanoic acid, is anaplerotic via direct oxidation or 5-carbon ...

A concise study of acetazolamide in glucose transporter type 1 deficiency (G1D) epilepsy. [PDF]
AbstractEpilepsy constitutes the most common paroxysmal manifestation of glucose transporter type 1 deficiency (G1D) and is generally considered medication‐refractory. It can also prove therapeutic diet‐resistant. We examined acetazolamide effects in G1D motivated by several longstanding and recent observations: First, the electrographic spike‐waves ...

Effect of Glucose Load on Attention and Seizures in Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome
Thirteen patients with glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (Glut-1 DS) had repeated measures of attention, memory, fine-motor coordination and well-being during a 5-hour oral glucose tolerance test in a study at Baylor College of Medicine ...
