THE KETOGENIC DIET'S IMPACT ON DNA METHYLATION PATTERNS

Emerging research suggests a compelling link between the ketogenic diet and alterations in DNA methylation patterns. This intriguing dietary approach, characterized by high fat intake and restricted carbohydrate consumption, may profoundly influence gene expression by modifying the epigenome. While the precise mechanisms remain under investigation,

Their study, printed during the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed how a synonymous mutation in one gene can drastically have an effect on a neighboring gene, raising its protein manufacturing. Some genes Typically help fix mistakes in the mobile’s DNA. alterations that change off these DNA fix genes can lead to the buildup
