A 3-year-8-month-old Chinese boy presented with acute exacerbation of ataxia precipitated by a viral illness. Past health revealed a clumsy boy with unsteady gait all along associated with moderate language and gross and fine motor delay but relatively preserved cognitive function. He was born normally at full term to non-consanguinous parents. There was no history of perinatal asphyxia or conv...

Dietary glycemic modulation through high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets, which induce a state of systemic ketosis and alter systemic metabolic signaling, have been incorporated into the clinical management of patients with neurological disease for more than a century. Mounting preclinical evidence supports the antitumor, proapoptotic, and antiangiogenic effects of disrupting glycolytic metabolism ...

There is increasing evidence supporting dietary and alternative therapies for epilepsy, including the ketogenic diet, modified Atkins diet, and omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamin D3 is actively under investigation as a potential intervention for epilepsy. Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble steroid, which shows promise in animal models of epilepsy. Basic research has shed light on the possible mechanisms by wh...

The field of mitochondrial medicine is rapidly transitioning from preclinical observation to clinical application. Translation of promising data obtained in mouse models is not always straightforward, however. Building on their own work showing that a ketogenic diet induces mitochondrial biogenesis and delays the onset of disease in the Deletor mouse, Ahola et al administered modified Atkins di...

Since the resurgence of the ketogenic diet (KD) in the mid 1990s, this diet has been used worldwide for the treatment of refractory pediatric epilepsy, including in Asian countries. However, the KD is not a convenient therapy, especially because the customary diets of Asian countries contain substantially less fat than traditional Western diets. In addition, there are various complications asso...
