Tell me about the ketogenic diet

A

The classic ketogenic diet (CKD) consists of a high-fat and low-protein and carbohydrate diet, with restricted calories and fluids. The diet mimics the fasting state, altering the metabolism to use fats as a primary fuel source; catabolism of fatty acids in the liver produces ketone bodies (KB), which induces urinary ketosis.

A

Ketogenic diet, VNS (vagal nerve stimulator), DBS (deep brain stimulator), RNS (responsive neurostimulator)
