Potential mechanism of the effect of the ketogenic diet (KD) on muscle preservation with aging. As muscle progresses from adult to old, individuals on a standard control (18% PRO, 65% CHO, and 17% FAT) diet show less reinnervation and more unfolded proteins. By contrast, individuals on a long‐term KD (10% PRO, <1% CHO, and 89% FAT) showed more mitochondria, greater reinnervation, more oxidative muscle fibers, and decreased translation initiation
