The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet used to treat drug-resistant seizures, especially in children. A number of possible mechanisms of action have been proposed to explain the anticonvulsant effects of the diet. Four of these hypothetical mechanisms are discussed in the present article: the pH hypothesis, the metabolic hypotheses, the amino acid hypothesis, and the ketone hypothesis.
生酮饮食是一种高脂肪、低碳水化合物的饮食,用于治疗耐药性癫痫发作,尤其是在儿童中。人们提出了许多可能的作用机制来解释这种饮食的抗惊厥作用。本文讨论了其中四种假设机制:pH值假说、代谢假说、氨基酸假说和酮假说。
