Title: The Multifaceted Roles of Ketogenic Diets in Neurology-Brain Cancers and Other Neurologic Diseases

Abstract

The ketogenic diet (KD) has gained popularity as a weight loss method in recent years. However, its use as a therapeutic approach in neurology dates back to the early 1900s when it was employed to control seizures. Although the KD fell out of favor with the advent of pharmacological treatments, it has made a resurgence due to its metabolic benefits, including improved immune response, regulation of signal transduction, inflammatory pathways, and neurotransmission. Research suggests that the KD may have therapeutic potential in various disorders, such as mitochondrial diseases, metabolic disorders, and even cancer. In the field of neurology, the KD has shown promise in the management of multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and stroke. This narrative review aims to summarize the current literature on the multifaceted roles of ketogenic diets in neurology, focusing on their potential benefits for patients with brain cancers and other neurologic diseases. The review explores the physiological mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of the KD and provides insights into its use as part of a comprehensive neurological treatment plan.
