We study a class of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with a general form of the energy functional. The class generalizes various examples of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities considered previously in the literature. Refining a method of Aida and Stroock for the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality, we prove that if a measure on n satisfies a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality then it satisfies a family of L p -Sobolev-type inequalities with non-Euclidean norms of gradients (and dimension-independent constants). The latter are shown to yield various concentration-type estimates for deviations of smooth (not necessarily Lipschitz) functions and measures of enlargements of sets corresponding to non-Euclidean norms. We also prove a two-level concentration result for functions of bounded Hessian and measures satisfying the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality.
