Metabolic adaptation

Low-carbohydrate conditions resulted in twofold higher free fatty acid concentrations compared to high-carbohydrate conditions.

Practitioners should note that low-carbohydrate diets can lead to increased free fatty acid levels, which may influence fat metabolism.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
FFA concentrations were twofold higher after LOW- vs. HIGH-CHO (P < 0.05).
