Article Synopsis
  • The ketogenic diet (KD) affects body weight management but its impact on glucose and lipid metabolism is still unclear; this study examines how different types of KDs influence gut microbiota and metabolic changes in mice.
  • Two KDs, KD1 and KD2, led to glucose intolerance in mice, with KD1 linked to obesity symptoms and KD2 causing weight loss but severe fat buildup in the liver and impaired fatty acid metabolism.
  • The research shows that both KDs altered gut microbiota, reduced short-chain fatty acids, and that depleting gut microbiota with antibiotics reduced glucose metabolism disturbances, suggesting gut microbes play a key role in KD-related glucose intolerance.

The ketogenic diet (KD) has gained a lot of attraction in the management of neurological disorders. KD therapies are high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets intended to shift energy consumption and metabolism from carbohydrates to fat in ketogenesis. The oxidative phosphorylation of ketone bodies generates energy packets for body cells, especially the central nervous system, replacing the role of glucose.

Epilepsy, a complex neurological condition marked by recurring seizures, is increasingly recognized for its intricate relationship with mitochondria, the cellular powerhouses responsible for energy production and calcium regulation. This review offers an in-depth examination of the interplay between epilepsy, mitochondrial function, and aging. Many factors might account for the correlation between epilepsy and aging.
