Influence of Nutritional Ketosis Achieved through Various Methods on Plasma Concentrations of Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor

Key finding
Plasma BDNF did not show a strong association with matched blood BHB concentrations across methods of ketosis.
What the study did
Three studies compared BDNF responses to ketosis from keto-adaptation, ketone salts and exercise. Fasting BDNF was lower in keto-adapted people. Intense cycling strongly raised BDNF independent of ketosis, and BDNF did not track BHB levels.
This study used [form], not goBHB. It is shown here as general ketone science. Only goBHB studies back goBHB product claims.
