In Alzheimer Research, Glucose Metabolism Moves to Center Stage

After the amyloid hypothesis, diabetes drugs, and insulin devices, come up empty...they try a ketogenic lifestyle!

With a dearth of treatment options, Craft and others are also turning to lifestyle interventions that may have beneficial metabolic effects in both the body and brain. Craft recently published results of a pilot crossover trial comparing a modified version of the ketogenic diet incorporating Mediterranean diet elements with a low-fat diet among patients with memory complaints or mild cognitive impairment.
Six weeks after completing the modified ketogenic diet, patients had improved Alzheimer disease biomarkers in their cerebrospinal fluid. “With the ketogenic diet, we are moving the β-amyloid in a healthier direction,” Craft said. Patients also had better blood flow to the hippocampus and improved body-wide insulin sensitivity. A larger trial of the modified ketogenic diet is now under way.
