Nutritional Ketosis Alters Fuel Preference and Thereby Endurance Performance in Athletes

 

"We have demonstrated the metabolic effects of elevated circulating ketone bodies as a fuel and biological signal to create a unique physiological condition. Ketosis may alter substrate competition for respiration, while improving oxidative energy transduction under certain conditions, such as endurance exer-cise. Consequently, nutritional ketosis may help to unlock greater human metabolic potential."
