Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Metabolic Insights into Neuropsychiatric Illnesses and Ketogenic Therapies: A Transcriptomic View

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
The disruption of brain energy metabolism, leading to alterations in synaptic signaling, neural circuitry, and neuroplasticity, has been implicated in severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. The therapeutic potential of ketogenic interventions in these disorders suggests a link between metabolic ...

Ketogenic therapy for schizophrenia: evidence, mechanisms, and clinical perspectives

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionSchizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disorder marked by significant cognitive and functional impairments. Current antipsychotic treatments offer limited benefit for negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction while often exacerbating ...

Electrical Control in Neurons by the Ketogenic Diet

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
The ketogenic diet is used as a diet treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy, but there are no antiepileptic drugs based on the ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet changes energy metabolites (ketone bodies, glucose and lactate) in the brain, which ...

Dietary patterns in children with epilepsy: The role of household environment and clinical comorbidities

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate dietary patterns in children with epilepsy and compare them with age‐ and sex‐matched healthy siblings living in the same household environment. Associations between clinical characteristics and dietary adequacy were also examined.

β‐Hydroxybutyrate reduces neuronal excitability via GIRK channels

Epilepsia, 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 ...

Etiology‐specific spectrum of epilepsy syndromes (ESSES): Widening the concept of etiology‐specific epilepsies—Report from the ILAE 2021–2025 Terminology Commission

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract A new type of epilepsy syndrome, an etiology‐specific epilepsy syndrome, was defined in 2022 in recognition of major advances in identifying the many genetic and acquired etiologies underlying the epilepsies. An etiology‐specific epilepsy syndrome refers to where a known etiology is associated with a distinctive epilepsy presentation ...

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

Epilepsia, 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 ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia 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.

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

Epilepsia 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 ...
