Summary
The research study is being conducted in health controls to better understand the effects of
ketosis on brain functioning after 3 different, randomly assigned, 3-day dietary
interventions and the acute effects of alcohol after consuming about 4-5 alcohol beverages.
The labs visits will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to study the brain, measuring
levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), lactate, neurotransmitters glutamate, and
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
