A high-saturated, long-chain fatty acid ketogenic diet negatively impacts visual and motor-sensory function in a pre-clinical model of multiple sclerosis by Erin N. Capper, Erin N. Capper, Jeffrey J. Anders, Jeffrey J. Anders, Jeffrey J. Anders, Benjamin W. Elwood, Benjamin W. Elwood, Randy H. Kardon, Randy H. Kardon, Oliver W. Gramlich, Oliver W. Gramlich, Oliver W. Gramlich, Oliver W. Gramlich

“…Motor-sensory scores, visual acuity, OCT, electrophysiology, and histopathology were performed.ResultsIn general, our results show that a KD with long-chain, saturated fatty acids did not significantly improve visual outcomes, and that early implementation of the diet modestly exacerbated motor-sensory and visual acuity deficits despite not impacting optic nerve axonal damage, retinal ganglion cell loss, or psychomotor measurements of visual system function.DiscussionWe propose that the anti-inflammatory neuroprotective benefits of a KD are limited when saturated, long-chain fatty acids are used, and that chain length and fat saturation should be taken into account when utilizing KD as a treatment.…”
