Advanced resistance trained individuals can maintain and increase their strength and performance while seeing muscle hypertrophy with a ketogenic diet due to increased insulin sensitivity, protein sparing effects of ketones, and the replacement of glucose as the primary energy substrate. However, younger individuals and athletes just starting to build muscle may not benefit from being on a ketogenic diet due to potential compromises in their development and strength.

A recent study showed that ketones can inhibit a specific inflammatory pathway that is linked to chronic age-related diseases, and this effect was independent of the ketones' metabolic effect.

Summary
A recent study showed that ketones can inhibit a specific inflammatory pathway that is linked to chronic age-related diseases, and this effect was independent of the ketones' metabolic effect. Ketones are being studied as Class 1 and 2 hdac inhibitors with implications for genome stability and anti-inflammatory properties.
