Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if a 6-week period of ketone salt supplementation affects physiological, emotional, cognitive, and/or behavioral health markers in individuals with PTSD.
The purpose of this study is to compare the risk of serious adverse events associated with the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in comparison with the use of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors among patients with type 2 diabetes. More specifically, the investigators will assess the risk of severe urinary tract infection (urosepsis), diabetic ketoacidosis and lower extremity amputation. The investigators hypothesize that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors will be associated with an increased risk of serious adverse events in comparison with the use of DPP-4 inhibitors. The investigators will carry out separate population-based cohort studies using health care databases in seven Canadian provinces and the United Kingdom. Separate study cohorts will be created for each of the three safety outcomes. The study cohorts will be defined by the initiation of a SGLT2 inhibitor or a DPP-4 inhibitor after SGLT2 inhibitors entered the market. Patients will be followed up until the occurrence of an adverse event. The results from the separate sites will be combined by meta-analysis to provide an overall assessment of the risk of serious adverse events in users of SGLT2 inhibitors in comparison to users of DPP-4 inhibitors.
20 healthy trained males will volunteer to participate in this study. there will be 2 treatments: Carbohydrate- ketone supplementation and carbohydrate alone. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of glucose-ketone supplementation on a 20 km cycling time trial with a 2-hour feeding during a 4-hour recovery period following glycogen depleting exercise.
The use of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) has been associated with increased serum ketone levels. However, most previous studies included subjects who were either insulin or even drug naïve with relatively short duration of diabetes. It is well known that insulin deficiency increases the risk of developing ketoacidosis with SGLT2 inhibitors. Moreover, since the glucose-lowering effect of SGLT2 inhibitors is at its maximum at 3 to 6 months after use, the extent of increase in serum ketone levels and its clinical relevance with chronic use of SGLT2 inhibitors, especially among insulin-treated patients that often have longer duration of diabetes and potentially more insulin deficient than those who are insulin naive, have not been clearly defined. Therefore, the investigators perform this randomised study to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on serum ketone levels among Chinese patients with T2DM inadequately controlled with insulin therapy.
The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of exogenous ketone supplements during shorter bouts of exercise testing on twenty collegiate endurance trained athletes (18-25 years of age).
An open-labeled intervention study testing healthy, lean, and male volunteers on two separate occasions: 1. blood sampling after consuming 36 gram 3-Hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) salt. 2. blood sampling while given a variable rate of 3-OHB salt intravenously to replicate the concentrations seen during oral consumption. The primary outcome is differences in insulin concentrations (incremental AUC) 180 minutes after 3-OHB consumed orally vs. intravenously. Secondary outcomes includes iAUC for other gastrointestinal hormones and substrates (Glucagon, GLP-1, GIP, glucose, and 3-OHB) Gastric emptying will be evaluated using 1500 mg Paracetamol consumption before each intervention day. Urine will be analyzed for ketone concentrations/excretion rates.
20 healthy recreationally active men and woman aged 18-35 will participate in the study. There will be three treatments involved: Caffeinated ketone supplements, non-caffeinated ketone supplement and water-placebo. Participants will complete the protocol three times and the treatment order will be systematically rotated to avoid any order effect. The three main trials will be separated by at least 1 week. After providing the corresponding treatment, participants will be given 30 minutes and after, they will perform a standardized 10-minute warm-up, followed by the 20 km time trial and a 30-second all-out Wingate test.
A ketogenic diet (KD) is high in fat and low in carbohydrates and induces ketosis. KD is an approved non-pharmacological therapy for drug-resistant child epilepsy. Research has shown that a KD can reduce the behavioral measures of alcohol withdrawal symptomatology in rats. Ketosis is also possible to achieve without adherence to a KD, by ingestion of a ketogenic dietary supplement. In this study, we want to investigate if the attenuating effect of the KD observed in rodents, is also applicable in humans, i.e. whether a ketogenic dietary supplement, here a ketone monoester, would be effective in suppressing alcohol withdrawal symptoms in humans. Objective: To test the effect of a ketogenic dietary supplement on the need for benzodiazepines in managing alcohol withdrawal syndrome in humans. Eligibility: Adults 18-70 years who are alcohol dependent and are seeking treatment for alcohol withdrawal syndrome in an out-patient setting. Design: Double blinded, randomized clinical trial. The participants will be randomized to receive either the ketone ester beverage, or a placebo beverage. The study will be conducted over three days (72 hours), with follow-up at 1 month and 1 year after completion. A sub-set of patients will undergo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) following withdrawal treatment, and again after 1 month.
Compare plasma metabolites following different conditions paired with a dietary MCT beverage over an 8-hour metabolic day protocol in young and older participants.
The purpose of this pilot study is to measure adherence and quality of life in adults with intractable epilepsy following the Modified Atkins Diet (MAD) with Betaquik, a ready-to-use medium chain triglyceride (MCT) emulsion, as an adjunct to the MAD.
