How a ketone supplement affects your immune cells
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests what happens to your immune cells when you take a single dose of a common ingredient (ketone supplement) after not eating overnight. Researchers want to see if it changes how your immune system works at a molecular level.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how a 48-hour fast, alone or combined with exercise, affects your immune system and blood sugar control. It may help explain how short-term fasting can improve health in active young adults.
This study looks at how your body processes “ketones,” which are energy molecules that rise with fasting or low carbohydrate intake. You may be asked to follow strict diet and activity rules before test days so researchers can see what affects ketone metabolism.
This trial tests whether a ketone monoester drink can change how your body builds muscle protein. It may help researchers understand if these supplements could benefit muscle health.
This study tests whether taking a special oral ketone supplement can help people with both heart failure and diabetes. It looks at both short-term and long-term effects on heart function and blood sugar control.
This study tests whether a special drink called a ketone ester can reduce inflammation and improve immune cell health in healthy older adults. It aims to see if this drink helps aging immune cells (T cells) work better.
This study tests how a ketone ester drink changes the bacteria in your gut. You'll drink the supplement and fill out questionnaires online. It's for healthy adults who want to help researchers understand gut health.
