Abstract
We investigated the effects of d-β-hydroxybutyric acid (D-BHB) on sleep quality in healthy Japanese adults. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study, each group comprised 30 healthy Japanese adults. Participants received 1.5 g of D-BHB (low D-BHB group), 2.9 g of D-BHB (high D-BHB group), or a placebo beverage (placebo group) for 14 days. Before and after the intervention, the Oguri-Shirakawa-Azumi sleep inventory, middle-aged and aged version (OSA-MA), and sleep state test were conducted. After 14 days, compared to the placebo group, the OSA-MA scores for "Sleepiness on rising" and "Frequent dreaming" were significantly higher in both the low and high D-BHB groups. Additionally, the score for "Initiation and maintenance of sleep" was significantly higher in the low D-BHB group, and the score for "Refreshing on rising" was significantly higher in the high D-BHB group. We found that D-BHB can improve sleep quality in healthy Japanese adults.
我们研究了D-β-羟基丁酸对健康日本成年人睡眠质量的影响。在这项随机、安慰剂对照、双盲、平行分组的研究中,每组由30名健康的日本成年人组成。他们分别服用1.5 g D-β-羟基丁酸(低D- bhb组)、2.9 g D-β-羟基丁酸(高D- bhb组)或安慰剂饮料(安慰剂组),持续14天。干预前后分别进行Oguri-Shirakawa-Azumi睡眠量表、中老年版(OSA-MA)和睡眠状态测试。14天后,与安慰剂组相比,低D-BHB组和高D-BHB组的OSA-MA“睡意上升”和“频繁做梦”得分明显更高。此外,低D-BHB组的“开始和维持睡眠”得分明显更高,高D-BHB组的“起床后提神”得分明显更高。我们发现D-β-羟基丁酸可以改善健康日本成年人的睡眠质量。
