Similar to fasting, the ketogenic diet (KD) has anti-inflammatory effects and protects against excitotoxicity-mediated neuronal cell death. Recent studies have shown that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ has anti-inflammatory effects in seizure animal models. However, the exact mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory

Acetoacetic acid and R-3-hydroxy-butyric acid (BHB) are "ketone bodies", metabolites produced during the ketogenic diet. We discovered that they inhibit in the submicromolar-micromolar range several carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms involved in relevant physiologic processes such as lipogenesis and
