Nutrients was the leading journal. “A randomized trial of a low-carbohydrate diet for obesity” and “Obesity” were considered to be the most co-cited and cited reference respectively. The hotspots of LChD are four aspects, “ketogenic diet”, “metabolism disease”, “cardiovascular disease” and “cancer”. We summarized that “oxidative stress”, “gut microbiota”, and “inflammation factors” are becoming frontiers trends of LChD research in the future and deserve further study.

Low and high carbohydrate isocaloric diets on performance, fat oxidation, glucose and cardiometabolic health in middle age males
These results: (i) challenge whether higher carbohydrate intake is superior for athletic performance, even during shorter-duration, higher-intensity exercise; (ii) demonstrate that lower carbohydrate intake may be a therapeutic strategy to independently improve glycemic control, particularly in those at risk for diabetes; (iii) demonstrate a unique relationship between continuous glycemic parameters and systemic metabolism.
Ketogenic state improves testosterone serum levels-results from a systematic review and meta-analysis
Comprehensively, KD improved testosterone levels depending on both patients’ age and KD-induced weight loss. However, the lack of information in included studies on hormones of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis prevents an exhaustive comprehension about mechanisms connecting ketosis and testosterone homeostasis.
