β‐Hydroxybutyrate reduces neuronal excitability via GIRK channels

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
β‐Hydroxybutyrate decreases neuronal excitability by activating GIRK channels through HCAR2 signaling, providing a cellular mechanism that may contribute to the antiseizure effects of the ketogenic diet. Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet is used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, yet the molecular mechanisms coupling metabolic state to seizure ...

Ketogenic Diet in a Hippocampal Slice

open access: yes, 2016
The hippocampus is thought to be a good experimental model for investigating epileptogenesis in and/or antiepileptic therapy for temporal lobe epilepsy. The hippocampus is also a useful target for researching the ketogenic diet.

Ketogenic diet fails to mitigate seizures and neuroinflammatory responses in a mouse model of virus‐induced epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate intervention widely used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, thought to reduce seizures through a combination of metabolic, neuronal, and microbiota‐dependent mechanisms. Additionally, recent studies suggest that the anticonvulsant effects of KD require the gut microbiota, with ...

Insulin, glucose and beta-hydroxybutyrate responses to a medium-chain triglyceride-based sports supplement: A pilot study

open access: yesJournal of Metabolic Health, 2017
There is a current trend in endurance sports to move athletes towards a low-carbohydrate diet or use periods of low carbohydrate consumption to increase both health and performance.

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Impact of ketogenic diets on cancer patient outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundThe ketogenic diet, characterized by high fat, moderate protein, and extremely low carbohydrate intake, has been widely used as a medical treatment for various conditions and has gained increasing attention in recent years due to its health ...

Ketogenic Diets and Pain [post-print] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Ketogenic diets are well established as a successful anticonvulsant therapy. Based on overlap between mechanisms postulated to underlie pain and inflammation, and mechanisms postulated to underlie therapeutic effects of ketogenic diets, recent studies ...

Ketogenic Diet for Human Health

open access: yes, 2021
Ketogenic diet is a high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate diet in which energy source is ketones instead of glucose, which was initially designed to treat epilepsy but it proved in delivering many other health benefits including weight loss, fat ...

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...
