This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded crossover design. Nineteen patients with essential hypertension will be randomized to receive either ketone bodies (KE4) or placebo delivered by KetoneAid. After a period of 5-days treatment, effect variables will be measured (experiment day 1). After a washout period of 14 days, the subjects are crossed over to a similar treatment period with the other treatment. The study is terminated by measuring effect variables after the second treatment period (experiment day 2).
