Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine how an oral supplement with carbohydrates and whey protein affects metabolism during fasting in healthy young adults.
  • Participants were divided into three groups: one consumed a supplement with carbs and protein, another had water with maltodextrin, and the third group fasted, with blood samples collected before and after ingestion.
  • The results showed that the carb and protein supplement significantly lowered ketone levels, suggesting it may be a better choice for preoperative nutrition to reduce fasting effects before surgery.
