Ketogenic diet administration later in life improves memory and regulates the synaptic cortical proteome through the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in aging mice.

Diego Acuña-Catalán, Samah Shah, Cameron Wehrfritz…·Christian Enrique González-Billault

This study shows that a short-term cyclic ketogenic diet improves memory and synaptic plasticity in aged mice by modulating the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway and cytoskeleton dynamics.
