Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ketogenic diet, a low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, and high-fat diet, has garnered significant attention for its therapeutic benefits across diverse domains. From neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease to metabolic conditions like diabetes and obesity, the ketogenic diet has demonstrated remarkable efficacy. Moreover, its potential extends beyond these traditional realms, encompassing areas such as cancer therapy, cardiovascular health, and even mental well-being.
This Special Issue seeks to bring together cutting-edge research, clinical insights, and theoretical perspectives to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of ketogenic diets. We invite contributions spanning a wide range of disciplines, including but not limited to the following:
- Clinical trials assessing the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diets in various therapeutic contexts.
- Molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying the metabolic effects of ketogenic diets.
- Neurological implications and relevance of ketosis in neurodegenerative disorders.
- The role of ketogenic diets in managing metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.
- Ketogenic approaches in oncology: exploring metabolic therapies for cancer.
- Ketogenic interventions in psychiatric disorders and cognitive enhancement.
- Practical considerations for implementing ketogenic diets in clinical practice, including dietary protocols and patient management strategies.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, meta-analyses, case studies, and perspectives that contribute to our understanding of the therapeutic potential of ketogenic diets. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and advancing scientific knowledge in this burgeoning field, we aim to catalyze dialogue and knowledge exchange to innovate healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes.
