Ketogenic Diet (KD) is a diet that is high in fat and low in carbohydrates, protein, and other nutrients in appropriate proportions. At present, a significant increase in the number of scientific researches has been observed, and a large number of scientific evidence shows that ketogenic diet has a certain auxiliary effect on the central nervous system. This article reviews the research progress on the relationship between ketogenic foods and brain function and neurotransmitters, and introduces some clinical applications. KD not only has a good effect on the treatment of epilepsy, but also has a significant improvement effect on other nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinsonism, traumatic brain injury and others. Its mechanism of action includes anti-oxidative stress, antiinflammation, improving mitochondrial function and reducing iron homeostasis disorders. With the development of modern medicine, KD has been continuously applied to the adjuvant treatment of various diseases, and its safety and effectiveness have been further explored and studied. This article reviews the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of ketogenic diet on central nervous system diseases, in order to provide reference and help for the treatment and prevention of ketogenic diet for central nervous system diseases.
