A ketogenic diet significantly postpones the onset of Alzheimer's-related memory decline in mice, a phase akin to human mild cognitive impairment preceding Alzheimer's disease. Key findings highlight the molecule beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) as instrumental in this protective effect, showing a nearly seven-fold increase in mice on the diet and improving synaptic function critical for memory.
