The 1-Week and 8-Month Effects of a Ketogenic Diet or Ketone Salt Supplementation on Multi-Organ Markers of Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Function in Rats
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Rats in 1 Week Experiment
- (1)
- 10 rats (SC) were provided with 20 g/day of the aforementioned SC given during the acclimation phase.
- (2)
- 10 rats (KD) were provided with 16 g/day of a commercially designed KD (Harlan Tekland diet #10787; Harlan Laboratories, Indianapolis, IN, USA) that was designed to induce nutritional ketosis and has been used previously by our laboratory [21]. Casein protein (Optimum Nutrition Inc., Downers Grove, IL, USA) and cellulose powder (Allergy Research Group, Alameda, CA, USA) were added to better compensate for between group differences in protein and fiber content (added protein and fiber were 23.5% of the modified diet). The diet specifications (following modifications) were as follows: 4.15 kcal/g, 23% protein, 10% carbohydrate (2.9% fiber w/w), and 67% fat. Medium chain triglycerides, flaxseed oil and canola oil were prominent fat sources in the parent KD.
- (3)
- 10 rats (SC + KS) were provided with 20 g/day of the aforementioned SC, along with sodium BHB salt (DL-3 sodium hydroxybutyric acid, 5.8 kcal/g; NNB Nutrition, Lewisville, TX, USA) which were added to drinking water for ad libitum consumption with the intent to deliver ~2.2 g/day. This dosing schedule was designed with the intent of delivering a human-equivalent dose of 40 g/day dose as a “loading phase” per the body surface area rat-to-human conversions of Reagan-Shaw et al. [22] assuming the average rat weight of 400 g and the average human weight of 80 kg.
