Abstract excerpt
Ketogenic diets (KDs) affect the circadian rhythms of behavior and clock gene expression in experimental animals. However, these diets were designed to simulate a fasting state; thus, whether these effects are caused by diet-induced ketogenesis or persistent starvation is difficult to distinguish. The present study aimed to define the effects of a KD containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCT-KD) that increase...
