NCT ID NCT05831228
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 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 seizures to appear. The goal is to find practical ways to make diving safer for Navy personnel.
