Ketogenic Diet and Ketogenic Supplementation for Central Nervous System Oxygen Toxicity
Poff AM, Annis HA, Whelan HT, Ari C, Dituri J, D’Agostino D. Hyperbaric Medical Practice, 4th Edition (BEST Publishing). 2017:997-1014.
What this study found
The companion chapter to the 2014 feasibility study. Where that paper tested whether divers could hold ketosis during real dives, this chapter reviews the mechanism: how a ketogenic state may raise the seizure threshold against central nervous system oxygen toxicity, and what the animal and human evidence says so far.
