This trial tests how a ketone drink affects the brain in healthy middle-aged adults. It may help researchers understand if ketones can support brain function.
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 early-stage study compares how quickly and effectively a low-carbohydrate diet versus taking ketone supplements helps the heart use less sugar (measured with PET/CT scans). It also looks at how long it takes to reach a “ketosis” state, which may be helpful for metabolic health.
This study tests whether a special ketogenic drink taken for 4 weeks can improve how your body uses energy and help maintain muscle health. It may be a good option if you are between 60 and 80, overweight but not diabetic, and not very active.
This study tests whether a daily ketone ester drink can reduce liver fat and improve metabolism in people with excess liver fat. You may join if you are 18–40, have overweight or obesity, and your liver has extra fat.
