Changes in apolipoproteins following ingestion of a beverage delivering β-hydroxybutyrate: results from a randomized placebo-controlled trial

Exogenously induced acute ketosis resulted in a significantly elevated apo C-II compared with the placebo. Further, the levels of apo B were significantly lowered following ingestion of the KEβHB beverage only among individuals with hypertriglyceridemia. Acute nutritional ketosis may be considered as a potential approach to reduce atherogenic triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in individuals at high cardiovascular disease risk.
