Ketone bodies in epilepsy [PDF]
J. Neurochem.(2012)121, 28–35.AbstractSeizures that are resistant to standard medications remain a major clinical problem. One underutilized option for patients with medication‐resistant seizures is the high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate ketogenic diet. The diet received its name based on the observation that patients consuming this diet produce ketone bodies (

Ketone bodies : back to a place in the sun. [PDF]
Ketone bodies have a strong negative image in medicine because of ketoacidosis, a life-threatening complication in diabetes. However, Fang et al. report that ketone bodies exert antisenescent effects in podocytes under diabetic conditions, via activation

Metabolic and Signaling Roles of Ketone Bodies in Health and Disease
Ketone bodies play significant roles in organismal energy homeostasis, serving as oxidative fuels, modulators of redox potential, lipogenic precursors, and signals, primarily during states of low carbohydrate availability. Efforts to enhance wellness and

Ketone body oxidation increases cardiac endothelial cell proliferation
Blood vessel formation is dependent on metabolic adaption in endothelial cells. Glucose and fatty acids are essential substrates for ATP and biomass production; however, the metabolism of other substrates remains poorly understood.

Glia fuel neurons with locally synthesized ketone bodies to sustain memory under starvation
During starvation, mammalian brains can adapt their metabolism, switching from glucose to alternative peripheral fuel sources. In the Drosophila starved brain, memory formation is subject to adaptative plasticity, but whether this adaptive plasticity ...

Hemodynamic Effects of Ketone Bodies in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension
Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are debilitating diseases with a high mortality. Despite emerging treatments, pulmonary vascular resistance frequently remains elevated.

The efficacy of low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets, such as ketogenic diets, for cancer patients is of research interest. We previously demonstrated the efficacy of the ketogenic diet in a case study in which medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) or MCT ...

Effects of ketone bodies on energy expenditure, substrate utilization, and energy intake in humans
The potential of ketogenic approaches to regulate energy balance has recently gained attention since ketones may influence both energy expenditure and energy intake.

Therapeutic Potential of Ketone Bodies for Patients With Cardiovascular Disease: JACC Focus Seminar.
Metabolic perturbations underlie a variety of cardiovascular disease states; yet, metabolic interventions to prevent or treat these disorders are sparse. Ketones carry a negative clinical stigma as they are involved in diabetic ketoacidosis.

Ketone bodies as signaling metabolites [PDF]
Traditionally, the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB) has been looked upon as a carrier of energy from liver to peripheral tissues during fasting or exercise. However, βOHB also signals via extracellular receptors and acts as an endogenous inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs). These recent findings support a model in which βOHB functions to link
