This might also have the effect of reducing or eliminating one specific effect of certain
nerve agents which is to cause longer term
nerve damage, a syndrome call organophosphate induced
delayed neuropathy (OPIDN).
This pattern could be interpreted as a
delayed onset to allodynia, yet scores from ketogenic diet - fed and control diet - fed
nerve -
damaged mice never differed significantly, and a small change in ketogenic diet - fed sham - surgery mice at weeks 1 and 2 probably contributed to a loss of statistical significance when comparing sham versus treatment animal within each diet group.
