A new way to produce hyperketonemia: Use of ketone ester in a case of Alzheimer's disease

Providing ketone bodies to the brain can bypass metabolic blocks to glucose utilization and improve function in energy-starved neurons. For this, plasma ketones must be elevated well above the ≤ 0.2 mM default concentrations normally prevalent. Limitations of dietary methods currently used to produce therapeutic hyperketonemia have stimulated the search for better approaches.Described herein is a new way to produce therapeutic hyperketonemia,...
