Still, no significant differences in growth were found between the classical
and medium-chain triglycerides diet groups after 12 months, despite the signifi- cantly higher protein intake in the medium-chain triglycerides diet.
5 In our ketogenic diet
with medium-chain triglycerides, we prescribed even more protein than Neal et al 5 -with a mean content of 1.86 g/kg compared to 1.67 g/kg.
In our study,
the growth rates were within normal limits for the children who were on the ketogenic diet for more than 6 months (n ¼ 8) or more than a year (n ¼ 5),
except for 1 child whose growth was stable at 1 standard deviation below his original growth curve
