Brief Summary: Overweight divers face a challenging activity such as immersions starting from a higher levels of circulating cytokines and oxidative stress Ketogenic Diet KD is described as effective in weight loss in countering inflammation and oxidative stress and used in the control of drug-refractory seizures

The aim of our pilot study was to evaluate if a ketosis state induced by a specific dietary regime may have a protective effect on oxidative stress damages and inflammatory status that accompanies both overweight and diving activities

Blood and urine samples from six overweight divers were obtained a before CTRL and after a dive breathing Enriched Air Nitrox and performing light underwater exercise NTRX b after a dive same conditions performed after 7 days of KD K-NTRX We measured urinary 8-isoprostane and 8-OH-2-deoxyguanosine evaluating lipids peroxidation and DNA oxidative damages Plasmatic IL-1beta IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels were measured to investigate the inflammatory status
