Abstract

Ketosis may represent a therapeutic target for age-related impairments in skeletal muscle function. This study investigated acute effects of ketosis on metabolic economy, mitochondrial function, and contractile parameters in skeletal muscle of young and older adults.

Research summary

The paper claims that ketone monoester supplementation can enhance skeletal muscle power and energy turnover in older men. This research is relevant as it explores potential interventions targeting age-related declines in muscle function, which is a significant aspect of the aging process.
