First seen Mar 16, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study looked at how ketosis (a state where your body burns fat for energy) affects certain blood markers, including erythropoietin (a hormone that helps make red blood cells) and sex hormones. Sixteen healthy adults took part, and researchers compared blood samples from different body sites. The goal was to better understand ketosis, not to treat any disease.
