The article reports on a small study where a single dose of a ketone ester supplement reduced alcohol cravings in individuals with alcohol use disorder and shifted brain energy use from glucose to ketones, as measured by brain imaging. The findings suggest ketone esters may rapidly alter brain metabolism and reduce cravings, pointing to potential therapeutic use.

Ketone ester supplementation appears to influence brain energy metabolism and craving responses in alcohol use disorder, highlighting interest in metabolic approaches to psychological and behavioral challenges.

"Here we describe a photoredox-enabled functionalized carbon-atom insertion reaction into #indene. We disclose the utilization of a radical #carbyne precursor that facilitates the insertion of carbon atoms bearing a variety of functional groups, including #trifluoromethyl, #ester, phosphate ester, sulfonate ester, sulfone, nitrile, #amide, aryl ketone and aliphatic #ketone fragments to access a library of 2-substituted #naphthalenes"

β-Hydroxybutyrate as an #epigenetic modifier: Underlying mechanisms & implications

#Ketone bodies & BHB not only serve as ancillary fuel substituting for glucose but also induce anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory & cardioprotective features.

"CD8+ Teff cells preferentially used #ketone bodies (KBs) over #glucose to fuel the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in vitro and in vivo. KBs directly boosted the respiratory capacity and TCA cycle-dependent metabolic pathways that fuel CD8+ T cell function. Mechanistically, βOHB was a major substrate for acetyl-CoA production in CD8+ T cells and regulated effector responses through effects on #histone #acetylation"

Ich brauche nochmal #followerpower

Ich suche ein Kombi-Messgerät für #Blutzucker und #Ketone mit guter Messqualität. Idealerweise will ich dabei nicht an den Teststreifen verarmen.

Bisher habe ich den Freestyle Precision Neo, Go Keto, Keto Mojo und Fora 6 gefunden.

Beim Freestyle sind die Keto-Strips sehr teuer. Bei den anderen weiß ich nichts über die Qualität.

Kann jemand was empfehlen?
