“…Endurance-trained rats and humans have been reported to be more resistant to postexercise ketosis than untrained controls (Johnson, Walton, Krebs & Williamson, 1969;Johnson & Walton, 1971;Rennie, Jennett & Johnson, 1974;Winder, Hickson, Hagberg, Ehsani & McLane, 1979), though other studies (Grollman & Phillips, 1954;Passmore & Johnson, 1958;Johnson & Passmore, 1960;Askew, Dohm & Huston, 1975;Koeslag, Noakes & Sloan, 1980;Beattie & Winder, 1984) have shown that it is the athletes who develop the higher blood concentrations of ketone bodies during the recovery from a standard bout of exercise. The only factor which appears to distinguish these two groups of studies is diet.…”
