MODIFIED KETOGENIC DIET BASED ON THE FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF HUMAN MILK

Ketogenic diet (KD),  a proven treatment for epilepsy, is of interest in mitochondrial and peroxisomal (cellular energy) research. Fat provides up to 90% of calories in KD, yet there is no scientific consensus as to how fatty acids (the constituents of fat) might be exploited to improve efficacy. The composition of fatty acids in cow’s milk closely […]
