      abstract = {Long-term treatment with the Ketogenic Diet among children  with intractable epilepsy may negatively impact growth,  especially linear growth, body composition, and plasma  carnitine concentrations. Treatment with the Ketogenic Diet  also results in an increased demand for carnitine, which  may lead to hypocarnitinemia. As 90% of carnitine is stored  in the muscle, the amount of muscle mass in children prior  to starting dietary treatment may play a role in the  carnitine status of these children. Limited research exists  describing the potential relationship between, and  potential protective effect of, greater muscle mass and  changes in carnitine status in patients treated with the  Ketogenic Diet.},
