ABSTRACT
SCOPE: The primary aim of the present study was to study the effect of acute ketosis on parameters of appetite regulation in prediabetes. The secondary aim was to investigate whether the effect is influenced by eating behaviours.
METHODS AND RESULTS: This was a randomised controlled trial. After an overnight fast, 18 adults with prediabetes (defined in line with the American Diabetes Association criteria) were assigned to consume either a ketone monoester (D-β-hydroxybutyrate-(R)-1,3 butanediol) drink (energy content 123 kcal) or a placebo drink (containing virtually no calories) in cross-over fashion. Blood samples were collected every 30 mins, from baseline to 150 minutes. Paired t-test was used to compare the total area under the curve (AUC) for the changes in parameters of appetite regulation (acylated ghrelin, peptide YY (PYY), and hunger) following both drinks. Eating behaviours were determined with the use of the three-factor eating questionnaire. Significant elevation in blood β-hydroxybutyrate from 0.2 mmol/L to 3.5 mmol/L (p < 0.001) was achieved within 30 minutes. Acute ketosis did not result in statistically significant differences in the AUCs for ghrelin, PYY, and hunger. No statistically significant difference in the AUCs was also observed when participants were stratified by their eating behaviours.
CONCLUSION: Acute ketosis consistently did not affect both objective and subjective parameters of appetite regulation in prediabetes. No subset of people with prediabetes according to eating behaviours had a significant effect of acute ketosis on appetite regulation. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
