Abstract: Metabolic syndrome(MS)is a kind of metabolic disorder, including abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, etc. It reflects susceptibility to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other pathological conditions. In recent years, ketogenic diet(KD), as one of the natural therapies, has been proved to be effective in reducing weight, lowering blood glucose, regulating lipid metabolism, and improving insulin resistance. Therefore, its application in metabolic diseases has attracted more attention. There is growing evidence demonstrating directly or indirectly that KD may be an effective treatment for MS. How to safely and effectively implement KD and explore the biochemical mechanism of KD in the treatment of MS will be the focus of clinical research in the future.
