Adenosine and Ketogenic Treatments
Journal of Caffeine and Adenosine Research, 2020 It is well known that the neuromodulator adenosine, acting through the adenosine A1 receptor subtype, can limit or stop seizures. In 2008, adenosine was proposed as a key component of the anticonvulsant mechanism of the ketogenic diet (KD), a very low carbohydrate diet that can be highly effective in drug-refractory epilepsy.

Pediatric Neurology, 2007 The ketogenic diet is a valuable therapeutic approach for epilepsy, one in which most clinical experience has been with children. Although the mechanism by which the diet protects against seizures is unknown, there is evidence that it causes effects on intermediary metabolism that influence the dynamics of the major inhibitory and excitatory ...
