The continual supply of ATP to the fundamental cellular processes that underpin skeletal
muscle contraction during exercise is essential for sports performance in events lasting …

The ketone bodies acetoacetate (AcAc) and β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB) have pleiotropic
effects in multiple organs including brain, heart, and skeletal muscle by serving as an …

Introduction We repeated our study of intensified training on a ketogenic low-carbohydrate
(CHO), high-fat diet (LCHF) in world-class endurance athletes, with further investigation of a …

Endurance athletes need a regular and well-detailed nutrition program in order to fill their
energy stores before training/racing, to provide nutritional support that will allow them to …

Recently developed ketone (monoester or salt) supplements acutely elevate blood β-
hydroxybutyrate (BHB) exogenously without prolonged periods of fasting or carbohydrate …

Ingesting exogenous ketone bodies has been touted as producing ergogenic effects by
altering substrate metabolism; however, research findings from recent studies appear …

Methods Six athletes completed cycling ergometer exercise on three occasions within a
single-blind, random-order controlled, crossover design study. Exercise duration was 60 …

Available evidence indicates that ketone bodies inhibit glycolysis in contracting muscles.
Therefore, we investigated whether acute exogenous ketosis by oral ketone ester (KE) …

Ketogenic diets and orally administered exogenous ketone supplements are strategies to
increase serum ketone bodies serving as an alternative energy fuel for high energy …

Purpose We recently reported that oral ketone ester (KE) intake before and during the initial
30 min of a 3 h 15 min simulated cycling race (RACE) transiently decreased blood pH and …
