A Quantitative Sequencing Framework for Absolute Abundance Measurements of Mucosal and Lumenal Microbial Communities [PDF]
, 2020 A fundamental goal in microbiome studies is determining which microbes affect host physiology. Standard methods for determining changes in microbial taxa measure relative, rather than absolute abundances.

Beneficial effects of the ketogenic diet on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A comprehensive review of the literature [PDF]
, 2020 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, characterized by hepatic fat accumulation and possible development of inflammation, fibrosis, and cancer. The ketogenic diet (KD), with its drastic carbohydrate reduction,

Ketogenic Diet and Epilepsy [PDF]
Nutrients, 2019 Currently available pharmacological treatment of epilepsy has limited effectiveness. In epileptic patients, pharmacological treatment with available anticonvulsants leads to seizure control in <70% of cases. Surgical intervention can lead to control in a selected subset of patients, but still leaves a significant number of patients with uncontrolled

Ketogenic diet therapy map of Turkey
The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2021 Background. Although the ketogenic diet (KD) is a well-established non-pharmacologic treatment for intractable epilepsy in pediatric patients, it is still perceived as theoretical information contained within textbooks rather than implementation ...

The Pros and Cons of Low Carbohydrate and Ketogenic Diets in the Prevention and Treatment of Cancer
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021 Ketogenic diets are low carbohydrate (CHO), high fat diets that are currently very popular for weight loss. Since cancer cells typically consume far more glucose than normal cells, low CHO diets are currently being considered as possible therapeutic ...

ALSUntangled #63: ketogenic diets [PDF]
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Degeneration, 2021 ALSUntangled reviews alternative and off label treatments with a goal of helping patients make more informed decisions about them. Here we review ketogenic diets. We shows that these have plausible mechanisms, including augmenting cellular energy balance and reducing excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. We review a mouse model study,

Differential utilization of ketone bodies by neurons and glioma cell lines: a rationale for ketogenic diet as experimental glioma therapy [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Even in the presence of oxygen, malignant cells often highly depend on glycolysis for energy generation, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect.
