NCT03603782

Brief Summary

This research project is aimed at identifying the MCT formulation matrixes that provide the highest ketoindex values and extended half-life, as well as to provide an initial evaluation of the GI tolerability of the various formula. For comparison, ketones salts and esters (food grade) will be also evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • KetoIndex - plasma concentration

    KetoIndex calculated as area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of total ketones (BHB + AcA) over 4 hours after MCT-based products consumption / quantity of ingested MCTs in gram.

    4 hours

  • total ketones (BHB+ACA) - Half-life time

    Half-Life time (T ½) calculated as time to reach half of Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC)-infinite of total ketones (BHB+ACA) after MCT-based products consumption.

    4 hours

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Ketones blood kinetic - Plasma concentration

    4 hours

  • Ketones blood kinetics - peak plasma concentration

    4 hours

  • Ketones blood kinetics - time to maximum concentration

    4 hours

  • Ketones blood kinetics - Half-life time

    4 hours

  • Medium chain fatty acid C8 and C10 - plasma concentration

    4 hours

  • +9 more secondary outcomes
