What would happen if you ate ketones?

What would happen if you took some rats, gave them all an all-you-can-eat high-carb diet, but added some ketones to some of their meals?
I love this study!

Feeding a ketone ester supplemented diet elevated blood ketone bodies to 3.5 mm (Table 2) while decreasing both blood glucose and insulin to about half the value in rats fed a fat- or starch-supplemented diet. This suggests that ketones increase insulin sensitivity as was observed previously in the perfused heart (1). A previous study has demonstrated increased insulin sensitivity in insulin responsive tissues during ketone infusions in man (35).
The ketone ester-supplemented diet group showed a decrease in food intake (Fig. 2) not resulting from an increase in plasma leptin (Table 2), implying a different mechanism for decreased food intake than that produced by increased leptin.
They added fat to one group, added cornstarch to another, and added ketone esters to a third group. The fat-added group ate a lot. The cornstach-added group ate even more. The ketone-added group ate MUCH less, even with 46% of their calories coming from carbs.
Ketones are magic. No need to fast. No need for a low-carb diet. Just eat ketones and you'll lose weight.

Don't Navy SEALS also consume ketones before dives to avoid seizures? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere. So, apparently, there is a source for this for humans. Not sure if it's approved for general use though.0

It's not just navy seals, a professional diver I know says they used them when they were going to be down for more than a few hours.0

According to Peter Attia, the salt form tastes better than the ester.
