This study is looking at how a ketogenic diet (a diet very low in carbohydrates) affects your brain and how your body reacts to alcohol. Researchers want to see if the ketogenic diet changes the levels of a brain chemical called glutamate. You might be able to join if you are between 21 and 50 years old and have had at least two alcoholic drinks on a single day in the past month. The study involves following a ketogenic diet for about four weeks. The main goal is to measure changes in brain glutamate levels after four weeks on the diet. The current recruitment status is unclear, and they plan to enroll 20 people.

Study design

This is an interventional study, meaning you will receive a specific intervention (the ketogenic diet). It plans to enroll 20 participants.

What's involved

You would follow a ketogenic diet for about four weeks and attend three lab visits. These visits include alcohol tolerance tests, blood draws, and two MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoint is measured at 4 weeks, which is the duration of the diet intervention.
