A keto diet protects mice from hypoglycemia during septic shock. Don't know what effect that would have on the body's ability to process these glycosaminoglycans or the tendency to shed them in the first place.

Mice fed KD normalized blood glucose while mice fed CD developed hypoglycemia from endotoxin sepsis. The switch to fat-based metabolism induced by KD may prevent hypoglycemia by maintaining hepatic glycogen, increasing insulin resistance, and decreasing inflammatory signaling.

And then there's this;

On various news sites. I chose the Sun because they're one of my favourite parody news sites.

FAT LOAD OF GOOD High-fat keto diet ‘could increase your risk of deadly sepsis’, experts warn
Scientists believe something in high-fat food could change the immune system which triggers sepsis

I mean, they show why we shouldn't take their headline seriously immediately after;
Quote:
YOU'RE much more likely to develop deadly sepsis if you eat a lot of fatty foods, experts have warned.
Gorging on burgers and chips, pizza, cakes and other sugary treats is known to be bad for our waistlines.

Quote:
Experiments in mice showed that those fed a low-fibre, high fat and sugary diet were more likely to develop severe sepsis and die.
Dr Brooke Napier, who led the research, said: "The mice's immune system on the Western diet looked and functioned differently.
"It looks like the diet is manipulating immune cell function so that you're more susceptible to sepsis, and then when you get sepsis, you die quicker."

The study doesn't seem to have involved a keto diet. But Dr. Napier did tweet on April 9 "Ever wonder what a mouse ketogenic diet looks like" which interests me because it means sometime in the future we may have a study more relevant to the diets we eat.
