“…Moreover, EKSs are well-tolerated and can generate therapeutic ketosis (ketone levels = 1–7 mM) while maintaining a normal diet ( Clarke et al, 2012 ; Hashim and VanItallie, 2014 ; Ari et al, 2016 ; Stubbs et al, 2017 ). Consequently, EKS administration-generated therapeutic ketosis may be a safe alternative method ( D’Agostino et al, 2013 ; Ari et al, 2016 ; Stubbs et al, 2017 ) to circumvent dietary restrictions and adverse effects by KDs (e.g., nephrolithiasis, growth retardation, constipation, and hyperlipidemia) ( Branco et al, 2016 ) and to treat not only several CNS diseases, such as epilepsy, psychiatric diseases (e.g., anxiety), neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease), and cancer ( Newport et al, 2015 ; Kovács et al, 2017 , 2019a ; Berk et al, 2020 ), but also, among others, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease, glucose intolerance, and type 2 diabetes ( Han et al, 2020 ).…”
