Very-Low-Carbohydrate Diet Enhances Human T-cell Immunity Through Immunometabolic Reprogramming

Simon Hirschberger et al. Very-low-carbohydrate diet triggers the endogenous production of ketone bodies as alternative energy substrates. There are as yet unproven assumptions that ketone bodies positively affect human immunity. We have investigated this topic in an in vitro model using primary human T cells and in an immuno-nutritional intervention study enrolling healthy volunteers. We […]
