Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An open-labeled intervention study testing healthy, lean, and male volunteers on two separate occasions:

1. blood sampling after consuming 36 gram 3-Hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) salt.
2. blood sampling while given a variable rate of 3-OHB salt intravenously to replicate the concentrations seen during oral consumption.

The primary outcome is differences in insulin concentrations (incremental AUC) 180 minutes after 3-OHB consumed orally vs. intravenously.

Secondary outcomes includes iAUC for other gastrointestinal hormones and substrates (Glucagon, GLP-1, GIP, glucose, and 3-OHB) Gastric emptying will be evaluated using 1500 mg Paracetamol consumption before each intervention day. Urine will be analyzed for ketone concentrations/excretion rates.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

An open-labeled intervention study testing healthy, lean, and male volunteers on two separate occasions with at least 48 hours apart.

1. blood sampling after consuming 36 gram 3-Hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) salt.
2. blood sampling while given a variable rate of 3-OHB salt intravenously to replicate the concentrations seen during oral consumption.

The primary outcome is differences in insulin concentrations (incremental AUC) 180 minutes after 3-OHB consumed orally vs. intravenously.
