Induced ketosis as a treatment for neuroprogressive disorders: food for thought?
In this article, Morris et al. (2020) explain the mechanisms by which induced ketosis might reduce mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress in neuropsychiatric disorders, and may be able to ameliorate abnormal levels of molecules and signaling pathways that appear to contribute to the pathophysiology of disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. In addition, the authors examine the safety data relating to induced ketosis over the long term and discuss future study design.

This 2021 review examined studies looking at the cost effectiveness of dietary interventions in people with mental disorders. Firstly, the reviewers searched five different databases for cost-analysis studies that implemented interventions to enhance dietary consumption in people with mental disorders. A total of 13 articles reporting on 8 studies were included in this review. Seven […]
This 2019 study examined patients with bipolar disorder (BD): their dietary habits, fatty acid desaturase (FADS) genotype, and their proinflammatory cytokine levels. Both inflammation and irregular polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels have been implicated in the development of BD, while the FADS genotype is relevant since a locus was found in this FADS gene cluster […]
