Severe type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission using a very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) [PDF]

Endocrine Connections, 2022
There is a close association between obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The value of weight loss in the management of patients with T2D has long been known.

Epigenetic landscape in blood leukocytes following ketosis and weight loss induced by a very low calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) in patients with obesity [PDF]

Clinical Nutrition, 2021
Background: The molecular mechanisms underlying the potential health benefits of a ketogenic diet are unknown and could be mediated by epigenetic mechanisms.

European Guidelines for Obesity Management in Adults with a Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

Obesity Facts, 2021
Background: The very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) has been recently proposed as an appealing nutritional strategy for obesity management. The VLCKD is characterized by a low carbohydrate content (<50 g/day), 1–1.5 g of protein/kg of ideal body

Epigenetic Aging Acceleration in Obesity Is Slowed Down by Nutritional Ketosis Following Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD): A New Perspective to Reverse Biological Age. [PDF]

Nutrients
Background/Objectives: Epigenetic clocks have emerged as a tool to quantify biological age, providing a more accurate estimate of an individual’s health status than chronological age, helping to identify risk factors for accelerated aging and evaluating the reversibility of therapeutic strategies.

An 8-Week Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) Alters the Landscape of Obese-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles (sEVs), Redefining Hepatic Cell Phenotypes. [PDF]

Nutrients
Background. Very low-calorie ketogenic diets (VLCKD) are an effective weight-loss strategy for obese individuals, reducing risks of liver conditions such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and fibrosis. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are implicated in liver fibrosis by influencing hepatic cell phenotypes and contributing to liver damage.
