A ketogenic diet lowers myocardial fatty acid oxidation but does not affect oxygen consumption: a study in overweight humans

11 individuals with overweight were studied twice in a randomized cross-over design after either a standard or 3-week ketogenic (KD) diet. As expected, the KD resulted in markedly increased levels of ketone bodies, but also reduced glucose and insulin concentrations. Free fatty acid concentrations were discretely increased. Using PET to study cardiac substrate metabolism, we observed a significant reduction in myocardial fatty acid uptake and oxidation presumably due to increased ketone body oxidation. However, this metabolic shift did not affect myocardial oxygen consumption.
