The Claim
Elevated plasma glucagon levels induced by free fatty acid infusion do not significantly modulate total hepatic ketone body production in healthy adult humans.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When doctors raise a hormone called glucagon in healthy people's blood by giving them fatty acids, it doesn't change how much ketone (a chemical the liver makes) their bodies produce.
See the scientific wording
Elevated plasma glucagon during free fatty acid infusion does not significantly affect total hepatic ketone body production in healthy adults
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Fatty acid-independent inhibition of hepatic ketone body production by insulin in humans.
The study tested whether raising glucagon levels while also raising fat levels in the blood affects how much ketone bodies the liver produces. They found that raising glucagon did NOT significantly change ketone body production, which matches what the claim says.
