Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm 3

Arm Type

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Ketone Monoester

Placebo Treatment

Ketone Monoester in presence of low-dose insulin clamp

Arm Description

Weight-adjusted dose of 3-OHB Monoester (KetoneAID KE4, Virginia, US) 0.5 g/kg (max 50 g)

Maltodextrin-based placebo (Science In Sport, UK) in isocaloric dose to the experimental arm.

Same as experimental arm, but in the presence of a low-dose insulin clamp to suppress free fatty acid metabolism
