Ketogenic diet therapy for pediatric epilepsy is associated with alterations in the human gut microbiome that confer seizure resistance in mice
2023-03-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The gut microbiome modulates seizure susceptibility and the anti-seizure effects of the ketogenic diet (KD) in animal models, but whether these relationships translate to KD therapies for human drug-resistant epilepsy is unclear. Herein, we find that the clinical KD shifts the function of the gut microbiome in children with refractory epilepsy. Colonizing mice with KD-associated human gut microbe...
