First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study looked at how a very low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet changes the way the body makes cholesterol, fatty acids, and ketones. Four healthy men followed both a standard American diet and a ketogenic diet to compare the effects. The goal was to understand the body's fat and cholesterol production, not to treat any disease.
