Blood ketone test

Ketone Bodies (Acetoacetate and Beta-Hydroxybutyrate): These are produced from acetyl-CoA in the liver when carbohydrate intake is low. Benefits: Ketone bodies serve as an alternative energy source for the brain and other tissues, particularly during fasting or ketogenic states.

Hello, The objective of this post is to bring together any information related to Ketone bodies and their benefits / harms, and include all Ketone sources like Ketogenic diet, MCT oil and Fasting.

some recent research that adds fuel to the fire regarding the benefits of ketones. It shows how ketones clear up mis folded proteins in the brain. https://youtu.be/oRaNzfHF_do?si=IwQ7mpO6VX6u6PPA

I recently posted my latest presentation about Parkinson's and nutrition here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7kT4OonMV0. I call it a ketogenic lifestyle. I combine a ketogenic diet with MCT oil and sufficient exercise. (The presentation is in Dutch. Most here will not be Dutch speaking and can use

Hello, Has anyone used or using DHA and Ketone / MCT / Coconut oil? Please share your experiences / suggestions.

Ketones and enhanced energy metabolism. 6 How do I increase Ketone levels? Ketone diets, Ketone supplements and interventions 8. Some specific details on Ketone Esters and MCT oils. 9. Sources of information [u]What is a , how and why is it produced by the body?

This molecule increases lactate and ketone levels in the body, providing similar benefits to running 10 kilometers on an empty stomach, without physical exertion or dietary changes.

I use urine ketone test strips to measure my ketone levels.. the max I have registered is something between .5-1.5, after 18+ hour of fasting! Is there any evidence (scientific or otherwise) that this is getting to the brain and doing any good? This is a new regiment for me: 3 days into it...

I would be interested in your thoughts and experiences regarding the perceived benefits of electrolyte drinks, or for that case, ketone esters.

He was admitted with high blood sugar, aggressive behaviour and confusion. I would say that for the past ten years, he has not been the charming man I first met back in the eighties. We have both aged. He has a benign pancreatic cyst which seems to be playing havoc with his blood sugars.

Just came across an article about this study from Duke researchers. Interesting possibility for dietary intervention? Researchers stress that it's not about the diet, but presence of ketones.

hi everyone I was diagnosed with PMR in February this year And despite being a diabetic with high bp was put on Prednisolone and alendronic acid - I was managing my diabetes with food prior to this but have now got out of control readings with ketones present in every reading except my blood fasting

After ERP / Sed rate blood tests he agreed (ERP was 50% above normal range and Sed rate was very normal) 10 mg after day 1 took care of the pain and so i realized that it was the return of the PMR. 5 mg also took care to the daily pain.

The cardiologist could access recent GP blood tests and see that my infection markers were raised, but this did not prompt that I might have IE. After my third visit to A&E in 2 months, I had a blood culture test and infective endocarditis was diagnosed.

Have had scans, stool and blood tests which thankfully doesn't show anything sinister. Am taking cholestagel twice a day. Have been passed from pillar to post and not having any diagnosis. Have tried low fodmap diet with not a vast change to symptoms.

When would you advocate me speaking with my doctor- at which time I will request a full panel iron blood test as well as an alternative to Statins? As well as switching to Gabapentin or Pregabalin. I look forward to reading your views and again, thanks for your support. Kricketer

You may complete the blood tests at any local lab. First screening: Blood tests below (within the last 6 months) and most recent health diagnosis. Hepatitis B Hepatitis C Syphilis (STI) or VDRL HIV Please send us the lab results.

I hope they give me the blood Test , and tell the truth . 😢 😭
