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