Intermittent exogenous ketosis: a novel strategy to improve hypoxic tolerance and adaptation KU Leuven
Altitude-related hypoxia decreases human functional capacity, especially during exercise. Early data in rodents and own preliminary work in humans indicate that intermittent exogenous ketosis (IEK) by ketone ester intake improves hypoxic tolerance, a.o. by facilitating muscular and neuronal energy homeostasis and reducing oxidative stress. We aim to investigate the acute and chronic effects of IEK on exercise and recovery responses, and ...
