Filter by:This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded crossover design. Nineteen patients with essential hypertension will be randomized to receive either ketone bodies (KE4) or placebo delivered by KetoneAid. After a period of 5-days treatment, effect variables will be measured (experiment day 1). After a washout period of 14 days, the subjects are crossed over to a similar treatment period with the other treatment. The study is terminated by measuring effect variables after the second treatment period (experiment day 2).
The goal of this prospective single centered randomized control trial is to compare the electrolyte balance effects between Sterofundin and Normal Saline in Diabetic Ketoacidosis patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: i. Is there any difference in duration of bicarbonate (HCO3-) to reach equal or more than 15mmol/L from the initial blood taking in between Sterofundin and NS fluid use in DKA patients? ii. Is there any difference in the level of post-infusion serum sodium (Na+) between Sterofundin and NS fluid use in DKA patients? iii. Is there any difference in the level of post-infusion serum potassium (K+) between Sterofundin and NS fluid use in DKA patients? Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive IV Sterofundin (intervention) or IV Normal Saline (standard care). The patient will have the respective fluid regime as the main fluid therapy during the first 24 hours of ICU stay. If patients were randomized to the control arm, the fluid regime for the first 24 hours in ICU will be normal saline. If patients were randomized to the interventional arm, the main fluid therapy during the first 24 hours of ICU stay will be Sterofundin.
To examine the acute changes in cardiometabolic and neurocognitive outcomes in response to exercise combined with ketone ester supplement in overweight/obese adults.
Background: Ketosis after bariatric surgery is a metabolic process that occurs when the body breaks down fat for energy because of not getting enough carbohydrates. Insufficient production of ketone bodies reduces the rate of weight loss, and excessive amounts of ketones can lead to ketoacidosis or liver failure in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The investigators hypothesize that weight loss is directly related to calorie intake, and a significant reduction in carbohydrate content leads to increased ketosis and the risk of ketoacidosis. Objectives: The study aimed to compare the incidence of ketoacidosis and liver failure in patients with NASH with different intakes of carbohydrates in the early postoperative period after gastric bypass. In addition, the investigators want to find out how carbohydrate restriction will affect weight loss for up to 1 year.
This is the first and only study conducted on the use of capnography in children diagnosed with DKA to evaluate the initial clinical grading of DKA, monitor clinical improvement, and predict complications such as brain edema.
The kinetics of circulating βHB following ingestion of the ketone monoester are dependent on several variables that determine the balance between appearance into, and disappearance from, the bloodstream. These dynamics have been well characterised in fasted humans but in the real world the ketone monoester is likely to be ingested in a fed state, pertinently within athletic spheres consumption would proceed a substantial high-carbohydrate meal. Within this, it is unclear how metabolism under exogenous ketosis might be affected in a fed versus fasted state. This four-arm crossover study looks to characterise the relationship between feeding status, βHB pharmacokinetics, and resting metabolism. As exogenous ketosis is known to reduce circulating glucose levels, this study will also explored if hepatic metabolism - for example, de novo lipogenesis - might consequently be altered, with implications for metabolic disease states such as Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) and type II diabetes. Participants will be asked to consume either the ketone monoester drink or a placebo drink when fasted and when having previously consumed a meal.
It is well established that the brain is capable of consuming ketone bodies, especially during low glucose availability, e.g. fasting. Cerebral metabolism of ketone bodies depends on passage of the blood brain barrier and especially the global blood concentration of ketone bodies. Ketone bodies can be administered exogenously, and the most commonly used in clinical trials is 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB). 3-OHB is carried by simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion through several monocarboxylic acid transporters (MCTs) across the blood-brain barrier. To our knowledge, no studies in human adults exist that concurrently measure 3-OHB concentrations in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after ingestion or infusion of exogenous ketone supplementation, necessitating further study. Aims: - The 3-OHB CSF/blood ratio after oral ingestion of 30 g ketone ester - primary endpoint - The window of effect: Ketone supplementation 1 h or 2 h before CSF sampling - If concentration measurements by point-of-care testing are non-inferior to mass spectrometry - If acute 3-OHB ingestion increases plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most serious metabolic complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Insulin deficiency and inflammation play a role in the pathogenesis of DKA. The investigators aim to assess the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as a marker of severity among T1DM patients with DKA and without infection.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) are common, but serious metabolic disorders are often encountered in intensive care. In the intensive care setting, it is common to withhold food from patients during treatment of DKA. However, there is no evidence or current literature supporting this practice. The following proposed research investigates the initiation of an early diet versus withholding food during the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.
The goal of this study is to study the effects of the ketone supplement Kenetik compared to placebo (an inactive beverage) on alcohol withdrawal symptoms during the 5 days of clinical alcohol withdrawal management treatment at the Caron Treatment Center.
