Exogenous ketosis suppresses diuresis and atrial natriuretic peptide during exercise
Ruben Robberechts, Chiel Poffé, Peter Hespel
Abstract
We previously demonstrated that exogenous ketosis reduces urine production during exercise, however, the underlying physiological mechanism remained unclear. Here, we, for the first time demonstrate that exogenous ketosis suppresses the exercise-induced release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). However, given the limited effects of ANP on renal haemodynamics during exercise, the underlying physiological mechanism remains unknown. But downregulation of ANP might explain a new physiological mechanism by which exogenous ketosis lowers blood-free fatty acid levels.
