Interceding nutrients have been acquiring increased attention and prominence in the field of healing and deterrence of various disorders. In this light, the present article encompasses several facets of ketogenic diet as an immunomodulator with respect to its expansive clinical applications. Accordingly, several scientific records, models, and case histories, including viral infections, cancer, chronic diseases, e.g., cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy, as well as numerous other neuro-disorders, are assembled, revealing a profound influence of KD in favor of improvement in the patient’s condition. We accentuate possible manifold mechanisms of KD that require further exploration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
