What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether drinking a ketone monoester supplement changes hormone levels in healthy young men after a single session of resistance exercise. Twelve participants did leg presses and curls, then had their blood tested for testosterone and growth hormone over four hours. The goal is to see if ketone supplements, which raise blood ketones without diet changes, can influence the natural hormone response to exercise.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ketone monoester supplement
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help us understand how ketone supplements might influence muscle-building hormones after exercise.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 12 healthy young men. It looks at short-term hormone changes, not long-term health or muscle gains. Results may not apply to women, older adults, or people with health conditions.
