Ketosis Clinical Trial - Ketone Supplementation, Glycogen Replenishment &

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

Carbohydrates (starches & sugars) are important muscle fuel for exercise at moderate to high intensities. Low glycogen content (stored form of carbohydrates in the body) is associated with fatigue. Thus, greater initial glycogen content has been associated with better performance not only in high intensity intermittent sports, but also in prolonged endurance sports. Dose-response studies have determined that ingestion of 1.2 g·kg-1·h-1 of CHO is the appropriate acute recovery dose to optimize glycogen repletion, with no apparent benefit at higher doses. Protein in combination with CHO has also been proposed to enhance glycogen resynthesis when 1 part protein is provided with ~4 parts CHO. Both strategies, optimal CHO intake and CHO in combination with protein for glycogen resynthesis, have resulted in better exercise performance a few hours after a depleting exercise bout. A recent study provided athletes with ketone esters in a drink after glycogen depleting exercise and found that in the presence of high glucose availability, ketone esters increased glycogen stores by 50% compared to a no ketone, high carbohydrate treatment. However, the authors of this study provided a large quantity of carbohydrates intravenously to maintain blood glucose at 10Mm/L. Consequently, it is unknown whether or not ingesting glucose at the optimal dosage would have the same effect. Furthermore, it is unclear whether or not this difference would translate into improved performance in efforts of more moderate duration. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess 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. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
