This finding actually detracts somewhat from the carbohydrate insulin model of obesity, which posits that weight gain (and loss) are regulated largely by the body’s insulin levels (insulin promotes fat storage).

However, newer research has failed to replicate these findings, showing no performance enhancement in longer-duration endurance events with ketone esters and, in some cases, observing a negative impact on high-intensity exercise performance. What are ketone esters, also referred to as exogenous ketones? More on this later.

The exact mechanisms behind this link are complex, but it’s believed that the combination of lifestyle factors associated with depression (such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking) and the physiological effects of depression on the body (including inflammation and blood clotting) can contribute to heart problems.

Welcome to the Physiology Friday newsletter. Physiologically Speaking is a reader-supported publication. I used to believe a lot of things about exercise. For a long time, I believed that to get the benefits of exercise, one needs to complete it in bouts of 30–60 minutes or more. Is this optimal? Certainly not.

Inflammation plays a pivotal role in both depression and obesity, while stress elevates cortisol levels, often initiating this cycle.
