iculata. These neurons normally fire at high rates, have been implicated in seizure spread, and express a metabolic sensor, the ATP-sensitive potassium channel KATP. In rodent brain slices, ketone bodies (β- hydroxybutyrate or acetoacetate) slowed the firing of these cells by ~10%. Pharmacological activation of normally silent KATP channels also slowed or silenced neuronal firing. The ketone-induced slowing was absent in mice lacking the Kir6.2 subunit of KATP channels in plasma membranes. In a twist yet to be fully resolved, the effect also required signaling through GABAB receptors. The authors propose that loss of glycolytic ATP production under ketogenic conditions lowers the ATP concentration at the plasma membrane and thus disinhibits KATP channels.
