Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

GLP-1 concentration
Development of GLP-1 concentration during ketosis as compared after intake of a ketogenic vs a glucogenic drink vs a control drink, respectively.
Acyl ghrelin concentration

Scores of satiety, desire to eat, and perceived hunger sensation during intervention all measured on a scale from 1-100 where 1 is the lowest score and 100 the highest.
Glucose concentration
Development of glucose concentration during ketosis as compared after intake of a ketogenic vs a glucogenic drink vs a control drink, respectively.
Insulin concentration
Development of insulin concentration during ketosis as compared after intake of a ketogenic vs a glucogenic drink vs a control drink, respectively.
Free fatty acids concentration
Development of free fatty acids concentration during ketosis as compared after intake of a ketogenic vs a glucogenic drink vs a control drink, respectively.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship, if any, between markers of satiety, desire to eat, hunger, and metabolic markers of the regulation hereof during ketosis as compared with a Glucose-containing and a Placebo drink adjusted for taste.
Detailed Description
All subjects are, in random order, tested on three separate occasions with intake of weight adjusted and taste matched drink of i) a ketone ester, and ii) an isocaloric and -volumetric glucose drink, or iii) an isovolumetric tap water drink. Subjects are studied for five hours with baseline and blood sampling on multiple occasions. A satiety questionaire are included. Subjects are recruited through notice on website for this purpose. Sample size calculations were performed prior to inclusion (n=10). According to protocolized statistical plan, missing data will not be replaced and no imputation will occur. Data will be analyzed by applying a repeated measurements multilevel model with intervention, time and their interactions as categorical factors. Effects size are adjusted for small sample size.

Masking Description
All subjects are, in random order, tested on three separate occasions with intake of weight adjusted and taste matched drink of i) a ketone ester (HVMN Ketone, 38 Mason St, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA) and ii) an isocaloric and -volumetric glucose drink, or iii) an isovolumetric tap water drink. Taste matching for the latter two are done by adding of a bitterness additive (Bitrex, Integriertes Trademarketing GmbH Herderstraße 16, 23564 Lübeck, Germany) with additional adding Stevia (Bodylab Stevia Drops; Bodylab,Plastvænget 3D, 9650 Hadsund, Denmark) for the tap water drink. Subjects will subsequently drink 50 mL of zero-calorie drink (Gatorade (Gatorade Company, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) in order to eliminate any remaining flavour of the intervention drinks.
