Because of the effective use of the ketogenic diet in reducing seizures (see above), it has been suggested that it may also
improve the clinical status in
brain injury, especially by reducing the incidence of long - term consequences, such as epilepsy.79 Positive effects of a ketogenic diet have also been reported in reducing the cortical contusion volume in an age - dependent manner in an animal model of cortical
injury, which is related to the maturation - dependent variability in
brain ketone metabolism.92 These findings were also supported by the demonstration that a ketogenic diet reduced post-traumatic cognitive and motor
function impairment, at least in a rat model.93
