The ketogenic diet and epilepsy
Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2008The ketogenic diet has long been used to treat medically refractory epilepsy. The mechanisms underlying its clinical effects, however, have remained a mystery. The evidence to date suggests that a fundamental shift from glycolysis to intermediary metabolism induced by the ketogenic diet is necessary and sufficient for clinical efficacy.

The energy requirements of the human brain are enormous. Cerebral oxygen consumption is 35 mL/min/kg or approx 50 mL/min in the adult brain. The rate of wholebody O2 consumption is 250 mL/min, indicating that approx 20% of oxygen utilization is directed toward the needs of the brain, which occupies only 2% of body weight.
