Exogenous ketosis attenuates acute mountain sickness and mitigates normobaric high-altitude hypoxemia

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Ketone ester intake attenuated the development of acute mountain sickness at a simulated altitude of 4,000-4,500 m. This likely resulted from a mitigation of arterial and cerebral hypoxemia, reduced cerebral blood flow, and increased sympathetic drive.
