Summary
This study tested whether eating ketone-rich foods before a dive could delay oxygen toxicity in the brain, a risk for divers breathing high-pressure oxygen. Twenty healthy adults exercised in a pressure chamber while breathing pure oxygen. Researchers measured how long it took for symptoms like dizziness or twitching to appear, and checked thinking skills and ketone levels.
