Unable to refrain from or anticipates the use of any drug, including prescription and non prescription medications, herbal remedies, or vitamin supplements beginning 14 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1 and throughout the study. Acetaminophen (up to 2 g per 24 hour period) may be permitted during the study. Has been on a diet incompatible with the on study diet, in the opinion of the PI or designee, within the 28 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1 and throughout the study. Is lactose intolerant. Is unable to complete the meal prior to Hour 0 on Day -1 of Period 1 and prior to dosing on Day 1 of Period 1. Subject consumed grapefruit or Seville oranges within 14 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1. Donation of blood or significant blood loss within 56 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1. Plasma donation within 7 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1. Participation in another clinical study within 28 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1. The 28 day window will be derived from the date of the last blood collection or dosing, whichever is later, in the previous study to Day -1 of Period 1 of the current study.

| total ketones AUC0-inf | The area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity. AUC0-inf is calculated as the sum of AUC0-t plus the ratio of the last measurable serum concentration to the elimination rate constant. | 0-24 hours | 
| total ketones AUC%extap | Percent of AUC0-inf extrapolated, represented as (1 - AUC0-t/AUC0-inf)*100 | 0-24 hours | 
| total ketones Cmax | Maximum observed concentration | 0-24 hours |
