Dietary Ketosis Glucose levels ~ 4 mmol/L (72mg/dl) vs Ketoacidosis glucose levels are often agove 160mg/dl. Dietary Ketosis Insulin levels above the reference ranges vs Ketoacidosis insulin levels are above the references ranges. Keto-adapated (KAD) Maintenance levels generally between 0.8 and 5.0 mmol/L Ketones and Energy Systems Physiology 101: Is the energy system simply a matter of food in = food out??? No matter how much food/calories we take in on a day to day basis (fluctuations) our cells still need to do what they need to do. Our Cells are adaptive in nature: need to adapt to a fasting state when we sleep and then varying degrees of activity during the day, food molecules are therefore stored in special reserves for future use. Each cell adapts to internal metabolic demands and has an ability to switch the type of substrate that is burnt as fuel. This adaptation is crucial and is achieved through the several regulatory mechanisms involved in controlling energy and its utilization. Energy use is tightly regulated so that demands of all cells can be met simultaneously. Measuring Ketones Ketones are water soluble molecules from fatty acid oxidation. Fats are broken down in 3 main Ketones: β-HBA (measured in Blood) – specific levels at that time, measured with a glucose meter, test strips Acetoacetate -AcAc (measured in Urine) interim spillage, use the ketone test strips. Short-term measurement Acetone (measured in breath) – overall level reflecting metabolic usage of ketones from Acetoacetate, use the ketonix breath analyzer Benefits of Dietary Ketosis  Reduction in inflammatory response and risk of chronic degenerative disease: Improved mitochondrial efficiency: An increase in ergogenic and decreased thermogenic Increased mitochondria concentration/density as a response to low carbohydrate levels Mitochondria run better on fats for longer low intensity energy requirements When combined with Intermittent Fasting (IF) shows an increase in autophagia and mitogenesis Improved Cardiovascular function: Improved energy performance: Epigenetic control: MicroBiome and Gut Function Reduction of Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth. & other bacterial (gut) infections Reduction in pain and bowel spasms.
