Epigenetics and Gut Microbiota in Children With Epilepsy (EpiMICRO)
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet used in the treatment of epilepsy. The diet can be an efficient treatment option in children with drug resistant epilepsy, with more than 50 % seizure reduction in about 40- 70 % of the patients. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the mechanisms of action, how will respond to the treatment and potential adverse effects.
