Ketone supplements-evoked changes in blood βHB and glucose levels as well as body weight. Blood βHB levels were significantly elevated in all groups (group 2–6) gavaged by ketone supplements (KE, KS, KSMCT, KEKS and KEMCT) for 7 days, compared to both control (standard diet/SD, gavaged with water for 7 days) and to their baseline (a). After different treatments, glucose level (b) and body weight (c) of animals did not change compared to both control (SD) and to their baseline. Abbreviations: After, after the treatments; Before, before the treatments; KE, ketone ester; KEKS, mix of KE and KS in a 1:1 ratio; KEMCT, mix of KE and medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil in a 1:1 ratio; KS, ketone salt; KSMCT, mix of KS and MCT oil in a 1:1 ratio; SD, standard diet/control; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001
