Ketosis and brain handling of glutamate, glutamine, and GABA Yudkoff M; Daikhin Y; Horyn O; Nissim I; Nissim IEpilepsia 2008[Nov]; 49 Suppl 8 (Suppl 8): 73-5We hypothesize that one mechanism of the anti-epileptic effect of the ketogenic diet is to alter brain handling of glutamate. According to this formulation, in ketotic brain astrocyte metabolism is more active, resulting in enhanced conversion of glutamate to glutamine. This allows for: (a) more efficient removal of glutamate, the most important excitatory neurotransmitter; and (b) more efficient conversion of glutamine to GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter.|Animals[MESH]|Brain/*metabolism[MESH]|Diet, Ketogenic[MESH]|Glutamic Acid/*metabolism[MESH]|Glutamine/*metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Ketosis/*metabolism[MESH]|gamma-Aminobutyric Acid/*metabolism[MESH] |
