Ketone ester ingestion impairs exercise performance without impacting cognitive function or circulating EPO during acute hypoxic exposure
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study is the first to show that KE ingestion impairs exercise performance in hypoxia, at least when KE does not alleviate hypoxemia. Despite a subsequent, progressive increase in oxygenation upon KE after 3-4 h, this does not protect against hypoxia-induced cognitive declines. Although studies in normoxia show potential of KE to increase blood [erythropoietin], we identified that KE ingestion fails to augment the increase in blood [erythropoietin] through hypoxic exposure and exercise.
