Clinical trials: Exogenous Ketosis
Ketosis
Metabolomic Signature of Exogenous Ketosis
Ketone bodies are a fuel source and signaling molecule that are produced by your body during prolonged fasting or if you consistently eat at low-carbohydrate diet.

Ketosis, Hypoxia
Intermittent Exogenous Ketosis (IEK) at High Altitude
Altitude-related hypoxia decreases human functional capacity, especially during exercise. Even with prolonged acclimatization, the physiological adaptations are insufficient to preserve exercise capacity, especially at higher…

Exercise Adaptations
Role of Intermittent Exogenous Ketosis in the Physiological and Muscular Adaptive Response to Endurance Training
In a recent study (Poffé et al., 2019), we demonstrated that increasing the concentration of ketone bodies in the blood through the ingestion of a ketone ester (KE) post-exercise and just before sleeping time during a 3-week…

PCOS
Exogenous Ketone Ester in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by elevated androgens such as testosterone. Clinical studies suggest that ketogenic diets lower the levels of androgens.
