Article Synopsis
- A study looked at how a very low-carbohydrate diet could help young women with obesity lose weight and improve their health.
- Seventeen young women participated in a 4-month program where they learned about the diet with help from a coach and online sessions.
- At the end, half of the women who were involved lost 5% or more of their weight, and everyone said they liked the program without any serious problems.
The ketogenic diet (KD) has garnered considerable attention due to its potential benefits in weight loss, health improvement, and performance enhancement. However, the phenotypic responses to KD vary widely between individuals. Skeletal muscle is a major contributor to ketone body (KB) catabolism, however, the regulation of ketolysis is not well understood.

Using a machine learning approach, we investigated clinical and morphometric factors that associate with serum cholesterol levels in 840 genetically unique Diversity Outbred mice of both sexes (n = 417 male and 423 female), and on both a control chow (% kcals in diet: protein 22%, carbohydrate 62%, fat 16%, no cholesterol) and high fat high sucrose (% kcals in diet: protein 15%, carbohydrate 41%, fat 45%, 0.05% cholesterol).

Using a machine learning approach we investigated clinical and morphometric factors that associate with serum cholesterol levels in 840 genetically unique mice of both sexes, and on both a control chow and high fat high sucrose diet. We find expected elevations of cholesterol in male mice, those with elevated serum triglycerides and/or fed a high fat high sucrose diet.
