NCT ID NCT07183488
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how two short-chain fatty acids, propionate and butyrate, affect metabolism in 10 healthy adults. Participants will take each fatty acid on separate visits, and researchers will measure changes in ketone bodies, glucose, and other markers. The goal is to understand basic metabolic effects, not to treat any disease.
