Article Abstract
The purpose of our study was to validate a newly developed breath acetone (BrAce) analyzer, and to explore if BrAce could predict aerobic exercise-related substrate use. Six healthy men ran on a treadmill at 70% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO) for 1 h after two days of a low-carbohydrate diet. BrAce and blood ketone (acetoacetate (ACAC), beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB)) levels were measured at baseline and at different time points of post-exercise. BrAce values were validated against blood ketones and respiratory exchange ratio (RER). Our results showed that BrAce was moderately correlated with BOHB ( = 0.68, < 0.01), ACAC ( = 0.37, < 0.01) and blood ketone ( = 0.60, < 0.01), suggesting that BrAce reflect blood ketone levels, which increase when fat is oxidized. Furthermore, BrAce also negatively correlated with RER ( = 0.67, < 0.01). In our multiple regression analyses, we found that when BMI and VO were added to the prediction model in addition to BrAce, R values increased up to 0.972 at rest and 0.917 at 1 h after exercise. In conclusion, BrAce level measurements of our BrAce analyzer reflect blood ketone levels and the device could potentially predict fat oxidation.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women, posing significant challenges due to its heterogeneity. Recent studies suggest that the ketogenic diet (KD) may enhance chemotherapy efficacy by modulating cancer cell metabolism, particularly through the elevation of ketone bodies like β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). This study investigates the effects of BHB on breast cancer cells using both 2D and 3D culture models, focusing on its role in developing resistance to fluorouracil (5-FU).

Background And Aims: Obesity is a major risk factor for hypertension. The evidence on the effects of dietetic interventions to weight loss in blood pressure is scarce. Our main objective was to assess changes in blood pressure through 24-hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in different hypocaloric diets differing in their theoretical ketogenic potential.

Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a rare but significant cause of persistent neonatal hypoglycemia (NH), associated with a high risk of neurological complications if not promptly treated. This condition is characterized by inappropriate insulin secretion, often of genetic origin, independent of blood glucose levels. We report the case of a male macrosomic newborn admitted on the second day of life for respiratory distress, generalized seizures, and severe hypoglycemia (1.

Elevated blood nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) concentration in prepartum increases the risk of postpartum diseases. This study evaluated whether intraruminal propylene glycol (PG) or sucrose (SC) administration could mitigate elevated blood NEFA induced by intravenous lipid infusion. Four nonlactating, nonpregnant Holstein cows fitted with rumen cannulas were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design: intravenous saline infusion and ruminal administration of water (S + WT), lipid infusion and administration of water (L + WT), lipid infusion and PG administration (L + PG), and lipid infusion and SC administration (L + SC).

Context: Alternate day fasting (ADF) is a dietary regimen with prolonged fasting periods associated with metabolic and cardiovascular benefits. It remains unclear if ADF improves cardiac function and metabolism to explain these benefits.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a three-week ADF intervention on myocardial efficiency, perfusion, and substrate metabolism in overweight/obese individuals.
