Effect of exogenous and endogenous ketones on respiratory exchange ratio and glucose metabolism in healthy subjects
Doerner R et al.

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol
Key finding
Ketone salts lowered 24-hour respiratory exchange ratio without affecting glucose tolerance at energy balance.
What the study did
Crossover study in 8 healthy adults taking 38.7 g per day of BHB ketone salts under energy balance. The 24-hour respiratory exchange ratio fell from 0.828 to 0.811 with the salts. Glucose and insulin levels did not change.
This study used [form], not goBHB. It is shown here as general ketone science. Only goBHB studies back goBHB product claims.
