The rationale as to why ketone bodies may help in #glioma https://t.co/bRdZ39exde
Glioma cells are incapable of compensating for glucose restriction via ketone bodies in vitro...BUT!!!... "In vivo, the ketogenic diet led to a robust increase of blood 3-hydroxybutyrate, but did not alter blood glucose levels or improve survival." https:
Another study on mice with implanted gliomas found no effect of an unrestricted ketogenic diet on survival or apparent tumor proliferation or size. Blood levels of glucose and IGF-1 were similar in both groups. https://t.co/IX3KlCkMqX https://t.co/T9hCPr
There have been studies that show Glioma cells (brain tumor) in a body that a ketogenic diet are at a disadvatange. The ketones released save your normal brain cells from glucose withdrawal induced death but glioma cells are not protected. Link to study: h
