Ketosis alters human subcutaneous adipose mitochondrial bioenergetics. A subcutaneous adipose biopsy was performed in adults adhering to a standard American diet (SD; n = 4) or ketogenic diet (KD; n = 5). Ketosis was confirmed via plasma ketone measurements (A). Following the adipose biopsy, tissue was permeabilized to measure the mitochondrial respiration (B) and respiratory control ratio (RCR; C). ATP was measured via luminescence following respiration (D), and the ratio of ATP and oxygen respiration was quantified (E). * p < 0.05. ** p < 0.01.
