Researchers have proposed several mechanisms for the KD effect on weight loss including: (1) reduced appetite due to the higher satiety effect of proteins (by increasing the concentrations of satiety hormones, such as glucagon-like peptide-1, cholecystokinin, and ghrelin), 119,120 effect on appetite-control hormones, 121 and a possible direct suppression of appetite by KBs, such as -HB, which act both in energy/satiety signaling and in mediating the central satiety signal
