Cardio-metabolic effects of lactate, ketone bodies and creatine in humans
A research project headed by professor Niels Møller from the Department of Clinical Medicine will study whether the combination of lactate and ketone bodies will additively or synergetically improve cardiac function and substrate metabolism.
This project headed by professor Niels Møller from the Department of Clinical Medicine has received af grant from the Riisfort Foundation of DKK 250,000.
The research group will study whether the combination of lactate and ketone bodies will additively or synergetically improve cardiac function and substrate metabolism. Furthermore, the research group will test whether creatine hydrate will improve cardiac function.
The methods employed in these studies are well established and have been used for preliminary studies showing that ketone bodies substantially improve cardiac output.
