As humans age, we lose skeletal muscle mass, even in the absence of disease (sarcopenia), increasing the risk of death. Low mitochondrial mass and activity contributes to sarcopenia. It is our hypothesis that a ketogenic diet improves skeletal muscle mitochondrial mass and function when they have declined because of aging or disease, but not in athletes where mitochondrial quality is high.
随着年龄的增长，即使没有疾病（肌肉减少症），我们也会失去骨骼肌质量，这增加了死亡的风险。线粒体质量和活性低会导致肌肉减少症。我们的假设是，当由于衰老或疾病导致骨骼肌线粒体质量和功能下降时，生酮饮食可以改善它们，但对于线粒体质量较高的运动员则不会。
