Zhongshan Ketogenic Diet Study 1
Sponsor: Fudan University
Summary
This dietary intervention study was designed to investigate the impact of a ketogenic diet on platelet function and and thrombus formation. Based on our preclinical observations, the study also aimed to discover whether aspirin could effectively counteract the ketogenic diet-induced enhancement of platelet function and attenuate the associated prothrombotic state.

Interventions
Normal diet + vehicle
Participants in the control group were instructed to maintain their usual diet for the duration of the study. While they were free to choose their food, they were required to provide a detailed dietary record. After diet intervention, whole blood will be drawn and incubated with vehicle drug.

Ketogenic diet + vehicle
The calorie-restricted KD intervention consisted of a very-low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet (5% of calories from carbohydrates, 30% from protein, and 65% from fat, with an energy deficit of 600 kcal/day, 3 meals distributed over 24 h: breakfast, lunch, and dinner). This intervention was performed without schedule restrictions and supported by commercial replacement meals only for the first meal (100 kcal, 15 g of protein, 3 g of fat, of which 1 g was saturated fat, and 50 mg of docosahexaenoic acid, 2 g of carbohydrates, of which \< 1 g was simple sugars). After diet intervention, whole blood will be drawn and incubated with vehicle drug.
