Scientists are attempting to identify the exact chemical and physiological effects that a ketogenic diet has on the brains’ inflammatory response. Ketogenic diets are extreme low carbohydrate, high fat diets that benefit people with epilepsy and other neurological disorders. However these diets aren’t feasible for sick people with more traumatic injuries to follow. The scientists have discovered how various chemicals produced by the diet block the metabolism of glucose, which causes the body to activate a protein that suppresses the activity of inflammatory genes. If the scientists can reproduce these effects in a chemical form they could develop drugs that would mimic the dramatic reduction of inflammation that ketogenic diets produce.<\/p>\n
