Neuroprotective and Anti-inflammatory Activities of Ketogenic Diet on MPTP-induced Neurotoxicity.

Comments: I believe the results of this study are indicative of the fact that a keen understanding of the patients environmental illness and the factors that lead to it are crucial for the best holistic treatment and management of it. It is obvious that a one size fits treatment plan is probably not in the best interest of most patients.

"The change of dopamine was very similar to dopaminergic neurons in the SN. KD inhibited the activation of microglia induced by MPTP in the SN. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) in the SN were also decreased and induced by MPTP. So, we concluded that KD was neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory against MPTP-neurotoxicity."
