TOP-5 studies on keto, low-carbohydrate diets, and intermittent fasting from July 6, 2026 - July 13, 2026
Ketogenic diets and cardiovascular health: balancing metabolic benefits and lipid risks; Dietary approaches to glycemic control in type 1 diabetes: a systematic review of Mediterranean and low-carbohydrate diets; Movement disorders in GLUT1 deficiency syndrome: a systematic literature review; The impact of time-restricted feeding on reproductive hormones and androgen markers in adult women; The effects of fasting and calorie restriction on reproductive hormones: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and GRADE assessment.
5. Ketogenic diets and cardiovascular health: balancing metabolic benefits and lipid risks.
About the study.
The aim of this review was to assess the impact of ketogenic diets on cardiovascular health. Various studies comparing ketogenic diets with control diets were examined.
Results.
Ketogenic diets increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) increased moderately. Triglycerides generally decreased. Ketogenic diets also improved fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, body weight, body mass index, and systolic blood pressure.
4. Movement disorders in GLUT1 deficiency syndrome: a systematic literature review.
About the study.
The aim of the study was to provide an overview of the prevalence, clinical features, and treatment response of movement disorders (MD) in GLUT1 deficiency syndrome. The study included an analysis of data from patients with MD as part of a systematic literature review.
Results.
Movement disorders were the leading symptom in 34.4% of cases. The most common phenotypes were paroxysmal dyskinesias (63.5%) and ataxia (47.9%). Non-missense variants were associated with an earlier onset of the disease and a higher frequency of ataxia, while missense variants were independently associated with paroxysmal dyskinesias (OR 3.02, 95% CI 1.09-8.35).
3. The impact of time-restricted feeding on reproductive hormones and androgen markers in adult women: a systematic review.
About the study.
This systematic study aimed to evaluate the impact of time-restricted feeding on reproductive hormones and androgen markers in women. Studies with various populations, including women with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome, were included.
Results.
Six studies met the inclusion criteria. Randomized controlled trials did not show significant changes in androgens or other key hormones in women with general obesity. Non-randomized studies in women with polycystic ovary syndrome demonstrated positive changes in hormonal profiles, including decreased testosterone and luteinizing hormone, although these effects may have been related to weight loss.
2. The effects of fasting and calorie restriction on reproductive hormones: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and GRADE assessment.
About the study.
The study aimed to evaluate the effects of fasting and calorie restriction on reproductive hormones in adults. Data from randomized controlled trials were analyzed as part of a systematic review and meta-analysis.
