A ketogenic diet mitigates hippocampal astrogliosis in epileptic brain

2025-04-12

Abstract excerpt

The ketogenic diet (KD) is an established treatment for patients with medically intractable epilepsy and is chiefly characterized by high fat/low-carbohydrate intake and the production of ketone bodies (KB) such as β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). However, after more than a century of clinical use, the mechanisms underlying its efficacy remain unclear. While prior investigations have examined the effects of the KD and its...
