The ketogenic diet regulates the cAMP signaling pathway and influences epileptic seizure. (A) Behavioral observation in mice (Racine score), n = 10, * indicates difference between the KD + RMI 12330A group and the KD group (p < 0.05). (B) Analysis of mouse EEG, and vertical arrows indicate the beginning and end of seizures in mice. (C) Frequency of epileptic epilepsy, n = 10, * indicates difference between the KD + RMI 12330A group and the KD group (p < 0.05). (D,E) Levels of β-hydroxybutyrate and Glucose, n = 10, * indicates difference between the KD + RMI 12330A group and the KD group (p < 0.05). (F) Western Blot analysis of ADCY3, CREB, pCREB, cAMP, and PKA expression levels in mice, n = 6, * indicates difference between the KD + RMI 12330A group and the KD group (p < 0.05), ns indicates no difference between the KD + RMI 12330A group and the KD group (p > 0.05). (G) Detection of sIPSC using electrophysiological techniques, bar graph (right) represents frequency and amplitude, scale bar, 100 ms and 1,000 pA, n = 20 neurons. (H) Detection of eIPSC using electrophysiological techniques, bar graph (right) represents amplitude, scale bar, 2 s and 20 pA, n = 20 neurons. (I) Measurement of the relative intensity in calcium ion concentrations among the different groups of mice’s neurons using calcium imaging techniques (scale bar = 25 μm), n = 10 cells, * indicates difference between the KD + RMI 12330A group and the KD group (p < 0.05).
