Unraveling the Gut-Brain Axis: Microbiota and Metabolite Shifts Predict Seizure Reduction in Children on the Ketogenic Diet

Highlight

  • Serum plasmalogen levels and gut microbiota profiles strongly associate with seizure reduction in children with drug-resistant epilepsy on the ketogenic diet.
  • Positive correlation of anti-seizure effect with Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Alistipes spp., and Christensenella minuta; negative correlation with Escherichia coli strains.
  • Potential for targeted microbiome or metabolite therapies to enhance seizure control.
