Extremely high levels of ketones are a sign of ketoacidosis, a potentially fatal complication of diabetes that requires emergency treatment. The condition is most common with type 1 diabetes but in rare cases ca
Ketones provide energy to fuel important organs like the brain, heart, and muscles. They also play a role in reducing oxidative stress (free radicals) and inflammation, both of which are key underlying contributors of type 2 diabetes. Given that ketones are both fuel and a metabolic regulator,...
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disease associated with cardiovascular dysfunction. The myocardium preferentially uses ketones over free fatty acids as a more energy-efficient substrate. The primary aim was to assess the effects of ketone monoester (Kme) ingestion on cardiac output index ([...
Type 2 diabeteswas also previously referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetesmellitus (NIDDM), or adult-onset diabetes mellitus (AODM). In type 2 diabetes, patients can still produce insulin but do so relatively inadequately for their body's needs, particularly in the face ofinsulin resistance...
