Abstract excerpt
Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) exerts anti-inflammatory effects in cell and animal models, but translational work in humans remains limited. We investigated how exogenous ketone monoester (KME) ingestion in vivo and BHB treatment of human whole blood and monocytes ex vivo influence cytokine secretion and phenotype. Healthy adults (n = 13, age = 28 ± 7 yr) consumed a KME supplement containing (R)-3-hydroxybutyl...
