Ketones Improve Intestinal Stem Cell Function - Research Roundup


Listen Later

A new study, conducted by MIT, explored how a ketogenic diet and exogenous ketones govern signaling biological programs that maintain intestinal stem cell function.

We know ketone bodies like beta-hydroxybutyrate have signaling roles in the body and can help regulate things like appetite, metabolism, and neurotransmitter function.

This study provides evidence that BHB itself may play a key mediating role in maintaining intestinal health too.

Do ketones themselves (and not necessarily through fasting or a ketogenic diet) alone drive some of the metabolic and functional benefits? What were the exact findings?

Let's find out.
