Ketodiety
Ketodiety - Ketogenic diets
- Comprise very low carbohydrate levels
- Substantial amounts of protein
- High fat levels
- Production of high levels of ketone bodies (3HB, AcAc and acetone)
Terapeutické využití
- One of the most effective therapies for
- Drug-resistant epilepsy
- Specific benefits in:
- GLUT protein I (GLUT-I) deficiency
- Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency,
- Myoclonic astatic epilepsy (Doose syndrome)
- Tuberous sclerosis complex
- Rett syndrome
- Severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (Dravet syndrome)
Mechanismus působení
- Modulation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels,
- Enhanced neurotransmission
- Increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression due to glycolytic restriction
- Reduced neuroinflammation
- Rats maintained on a KD display
- Altered influx of nutrients to the brain
- Up-regulation of both ketone transporters and GLUT type 1
- Classic KD leads to a higher risk of atherosclerosis
- Fatty acid content of the KD influences this risk of atherosclerosis:
- Classic KD contains a 4:1 or 3:1 ratio (by weight) of fat to combined protein and carbohydrate
- Most of this fat being LCFA
- Altered KD that are rich in MCFA, sometimes known as the MCT-KD
- More nutritionally adequate than classic KD
- Still effective in treating epilepsy disorders
- And reduce cardiac risk [9]
MCT-KD
- Countenances more fruits and vegetables
- More food choices
- Causes lesser incidence of kidney stones, hypoglycaemia, constipation, low bone density and growth retardation
- Contains less fat overall
- Includes MCFA (from coconut oil)
- Can provide a greater amount of ketone bodies per gram of fat
- Thus allows more carbohydrate and protein in the diet
- Making the diet more palatable than the classic KD
- KD rich in MCFA have significant effects on
- Lowering the cholesterol:HDL ratio compared with the classic KD [9]
DM1
- Would also benefit considerably from sources of energy other than glucose to maintain brain energy homeostasis
- Elevation in 3HB levels in plasma
- Observed when coconut oil has been consumed
Effectiveness of KD diets
- In raising ketone body levels is measurable in plasma
- Increased 3HB levels in rat plasma
Alzheimerova choroba a kteideta-MCT
- Glucose for energy is vital in the brain
- Impaired in AD
- Low glucose utilisation has been demonstrated in many studies by fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography imaging in AD subjects
- Also been detected in elderly people who later develop AD
- Strikingly reduced expression in the central nervous system of genes encoding
- Insulin,
- Insulin like growth factor I (IGF-I)
- Insulin like growth factor II (IGF-II)
- Insulin and IGF-I receptors
- AD may represent a neuroendocrine disorder = ‘Type 3 diabetes’
- Energy provision via glucose
- Appears to be inadequate in emergent (pre-clinical) AD as well as established AD
- Enhanced supply of ketone bodies may be beneficial
- Due to the resultant enhanced ATP output of mitochondria
- AD or mild cognitive impairment patients
- Have reported positive effects on cognitive performance after consuming MCFA-rich foods
- Observing significant increases in blood 3HB levels after treatment
- Cognitive improvement has not been seen in ApoE-14 allele carriers
- KD diets in AD patients
- Raised mean serum 3HB levels from about 0·1 mmol/l to about 0·4 mmol/l in these patients
- Demonstrated improvement in cognition measured at 45 and 90 d post ketone supplementation
- Benefits were seen only in ApoE4-14 allele-negative patients
- Adverse events
- Diarrhoea, flatulence and dyspepsia
- Baran~ano & Hartman - concept that
- KD can enhance the mitochondrial production of ATP
- ATP production
- Altered brain pH affecting neuronal excitability
- Direct inhibitory effects on ion channels
- Increasing levels of both ketone transporters and GLUT-1
- Increasing capillary density
- Improving the regulation of sirtuins (anti-ageing effects of energy restriction)
- Deposition of aggregated Ab peptides in the brain
- Formed by proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by various proteases,
- Ketones may be able to sustain neuronal viability.
- Dual-tracer positron emission tomography imaging study of rats on a KD
- Diet caused increases in brain uptake of the two tracers 11C-AcAc and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose
- 14-d KD could increase the cerebral metabolic rate of AcAc by 28% and glucose by 44 % in aged (24-month) rats [1]
- Amyloid-(A) peptide in vitro
- Neuron survival in cultures co-treated with coconut oil and Ab is rescued
- Compared with cultures exposed only to Ab
- Coconut oil co-treatment
- Attenuated Ab-induced mitochondrial alterations [9]
- Van der Auwera et al.- young transgenic AD mice over expressing the London APP mutation fed with KD for 1·5 months
- Decrease of Ab in the brain
- Aged dogs
- Effect of KD on Ab is restricted to the parietal lobe of the brain
- Kashiwaya et al. - longterm (8 months) feeding of a ketone ester in middle-aged mice (8·5 months old)
- Improved cognition
- Reduced Ab and t pathology
- AD mice model fed with a high-fat, low-carbohydrate KD
- Improved motor function
- But without changes in Ab
- Further support for the benefits of high dietary MCFA levels against AD
- In vitro study demonstrated that the addition of ketone bodies (b-hydroxybutyrate)
- Protects the hippocampal neurons from Ab toxicity
- Possible therapeutic roles for KD on mitochondrial defects related to AD
- Few studies have demonstrated that KD could significantly
- Improve glucose homeostasis
- Reducing metabolic dysregulation and insulin resistance (IR)
- Important to reduce the pathology of AD
Adverse effects of ketones
- Significant rise in the mean blood cholesterol level to over 2500 mg/l following a prolonged intake of a KD
- May be atherogenic
- Some researchers have observed dilated cardiomyopathy in patients on the KD
- Due to the toxic effects of elevated plasma NEFA
- Increased incidence in nephrolithiasis
- Increases in serum uric acid levels
- Some side effects are common following administration of ketone bodies
- Dehydration
- Hypoglycaemia
- Growth retardation, obesity, nutrient deficiency, decreased bone density, hepatic failure and immune dysfunction
- Are also observed, but not frequently
- Hiraide et al.(103) reported
- Significant increase in pH and Na concentrations
- Following the administration of a 20 % solution of Na b-hydroxyl butyrate (BHB) to severe trauma patients
- Hasselbalch et al.
- Reduction in glucose cerebral metabolism
- Increase in cerebral blood flow during the administration of intravenous BHB
- Long-term consequences of these deviations are not yet known.
- KD with high-protein diets
- KD with very low carbohydrate
- Can cause a regression of diabetic nephropathy due to acidosis
- Concentration of ketone bodies never rises above 8 mmol/l
- This risk is minimum with normal insulin function subjects
