The interaction between ketone bodies and carbohydrate in human metabolism by Holdsworth, D

“…After glycogen-depleting exercise, endogenous insulin levels rose two-fold, glucose disposal increased 32% and glycogen synthesis increased 50% during a 2-hour hyperglycaemic (10 mM glucose) clamp following the KE drink. In overnight fasted healthy controls and type-2 diabetic participants (T2DM), KE increased insulin and lowered glucose concentrations vs. control (zero calorie) drink. …”

The Influence of Digital Sketching Tools on Concept Novelty and Evolution by Das, Madhurima, Huang, May, Xu, Christine, Yang, Maria C

“…We expect to see different patterns in concept evolution between the two types of tools, namely, that iPad users will demonstrate more iteration on a concept (concept evolution) than pen and paper users due to the fact that iPad features make it easy to copy and paste previous sketches and then modify them. We find that the tool used is not correlated with concept novelty. …”
