Induction of Erythropoietin by dietary Medium-Chain Triacylglycerol in Humans.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is pivotal in regulating red blood cell (erythrocyte) concentrations and is primarily synthesized in the kidney. Recent research has unveiled a possible link between elevated circulating concentrations of ketone bodies (KB) and circulating EPO concentrations, however, it is not known whether nutritionally induced endogenous ketogenesis can be a stimulus to induce EPO in humans. Therefore, this study aimed to assess whether acute and chronic intake of medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA)-containing triacylglycerol (MCT), which rapidly enhances endogenous circulating KB, would elevate circulating EPO concentrations in humans, as indicated by prior work with exogenous KB administration.

Background: There is a lack of data on the validation and diagnostic performance of the Freestyle Optium Neo-H (Freestyle) and Centrivet GK (Centrivet) devices for the diagnosis of hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia and hyperketonaemia in goats.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to validate the Freestyle and Centrivet for the analysis of whole blood beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) and to validate the Freestyle for the analysis of whole blood glucose concentrations using the reference method (RM) in goat blood collected from the jugular and ear veins.

Methods: Venous blood samples were utilised to assess glucose and BHBA concentrations using the Freestyle, Centrivet and RM.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Although there are various drug treatments available, many epilepsy patients still experience seizures with the effect of drugs and develop refractory epilepsy. The ketogenic diet can treat drug-refractory epilepsy by regulating the body's metabolism and can enhance the quality of life by improving their cognition, behavior, and sleep quality.

Effect of ketosis induced by on delayed-onset muscle soreness, inflammation and redox status: a randomized, open-label, crossover pilot study.

Background: Previous studies show that ketosis caused by the consumption of low-carbohydrate diets improves cognitive functions and that ketogenic diets can be used to treat epilepsy. In vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that ketosis regulates pain, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Thus, we investigated the effects of ketosis induced by a low-carbohydrate diet on muscle soreness, inflammation, and redox status in human subjects.
