Ketone drink for thinking and memory
This study tests whether a drink containing ketones (a natural energy source for the brain) can improve thinking and memory. It involves three groups: people with obesity, lean people, and athletes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 55 years old
- Your BMI is either between 30 and 40 (obese) or between 18 and 25 (lean/healthy)
- If you are in the obese or lean group, you exercise less than 2 hours per week
