Active clinical trials for "Ketosis"

The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of exogenous ketone supplements during shorter bouts of exercise testing on twenty collegiate endurance trained athletes (18-25 years of age).

The objective of this randomized crossover study is to examine the influence of consuming a ketone ester plus carbohydrate (KE+CHO) supplement on substrate oxidation and physical performance in 15 healthy adults. Following a 48-hr muscle glycogen normalization period, volunteers will consume either an isocaloric KE+CHO (KE: 573 mg KE/kg body mass, CHO: 110 g) or isocaloric CHO drink and complete 90-min of metabolically-matched, load carriage (~30% body mass) steady-state aerobic (~60 ± 5 % of VO2peak) exercise on a treadmill. Glucose tracers will be used to assess glucose turnover, and contribution to exogenous and plasma glucose oxidation. Serial blood draws will be collected during each trial to assess endocrine and circulating substrate responses. After steady-state exercise volunteers will complete a time to exhaustion (TTE) physical performance tests at 85% VO2peak on a treadmill. Volunteers will then be provided with food for the remainder of the day. Following a 10-hr overnight fast, volunteers will return to the laboratory and consume the same supplement (KE+CHO or CHO) as they did the previous day. Volunteers will then perform a 4-mile load carriage time trial on a treadmill. Following a minimum 7-day washout period, volunteers will return to the laboratory to complete the second arm of the study. The primary risks associated with this study include those associated with exercise, blood draws, and gastrointestinal discomfort from the KE+CHO supplement.

15 healthy trained males will volunteer to participate in this study. there will be 2 treatments: Ketone esters supplementation and iso-caloric carbohydrate. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ketone esters on cognitive function during exercise after induced mental fatigue

There have been concerning case reports of marked elevations of LDL-c in some individuals consuming a KD and Dr. Lewis has been referred a number of these cases to his lipid clinic, some of whom have had extreme elevations of LDL that mimic familial hypercholesterolemia. These marked elevations of LDLc are unique to a ketogenic diet and far exceed the typical mild elevations seen in those consuming a high fat, low carbohydrate LGIT. The degree of elevation of LDL-c suggests that ketosis per se may impair LDL receptor-mediated LDL particle clearance. This clinical observation is a concerning and clinically important issue since millions of people are consuming this popular diet. There are currently no studies that have examined the mechanism of the LDL-raising effect of a ketogenic diet.

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.

20 healthy trained males will volunteer to participate in this study. there will be 2 treatments: Carbohydrate- ketone supplementation and carbohydrate alone. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of glucose-ketone supplementation on a 20 km cycling time trial with a 2-hour feeding during a 4-hour recovery period following glycogen depleting exercise.

20 healthy recreationally active men and woman aged 18-35 will participate in the study. There will be three treatments involved: Caffeinated ketone supplements, non-caffeinated ketone supplement and water-placebo. Participants will complete the protocol three times and the treatment order will be systematically rotated to avoid any order effect. The three main trials will be separated by at least 1 week. After providing the corresponding treatment, participants will be given 30 minutes and after, they will perform a standardized 10-minute warm-up, followed by the 20 km time trial and a 30-second all-out Wingate test.

The primary aim of the study is to prospectively monitor the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in type 1 diabetes after the treatment has become available as an adjunct therapy for people with type 1 diabetes.

Fasting ketoacidosis adds morbidity to children affected by gastrointestinal infections. The investigators investigate oral glucose gel for its effectiveness in rapidly reducing ketoacidosis and for improvements in oral hydration therapy success.

Autophagy, which involves the degradation of aged or damaged cellular components, has been shown to extend healthspan and lifespan in multiple organisms, including flies, worms, and mice. Research has also demonstrated that autophagy declines with age in these simpler experimental models. However, human studies are lacking. Our study seeks to determine whether fasting, a robust stimulus of autophagy, upregulates autophagy in humans, and whether autophagy is reduced in healthy older people compared to healthy younger individuals.
