a. Latency to anesthesia induction measured by the time until immobility in G1D mice. In ketogenic diet (KD), KE and KS groups the latency to anesthesia was significantly longer (p = 0.0003, p = 0.0003, p = 0.0136, respectively) compared to control (standard diet, SD); b. Blood βHB level was significantly elevated in KE and KS groups, compared to control (p = 0.0117, p = 0.0169, respectively) and compared to their baseline (p = 0.02, p = 0.04, respectively). Bar on left represents baseline value, bar on the right represents value after treatment (after 10 weeks) in each group; c. There was a positive correlation between latency to anesthesia induction and blood βHB levels when the groups means were considered (R2 = 0.4531)
