The effects of ketogenic dieting on skeletal muscle and fat mass
Only a post presentation (w/ 12 authors?) and Volek is one of them.

Methods
Twenty-six college aged resistance trained men volunteered to participate in this study and were divided into VLCKD (5 % CHO, 75 % Fat, 20 % Pro) or a traditional western diet (55 % CHO, 25 % fat, 20 % pro). All subjects participated in a periodized resistance-training program three times per week. Body fat and lean mass were determined via dual xray absorptiometry (DXA), while muscle mass was determined via ultrasonography analysis of the quadriceps. All measures were taken at week 0 and 11. Consent to publish the results was obtained from all participants.
Results
Lean body mass increased to a greater extent in the VLCKD(4.3±1.7kgs)as compared to the traditional group (2.2 kg ± 1.7). Ultrasound determined muscle mass increased to a greater extent in the VLCKD group (0.4 ± 0.25 cm) as compared to the traditional western group (0.19 ± 0.26 cm). Finally fat mass decreased to a greater extent in the VLCKD group (-2.2 kg ± 1.2 kg) as compared to the (- 1.5 ± 1.6 kg).

Note the periodization is for the resistance training and not the diet.
PS - Does anyone know why muscle mass is measured in cm? Shouldn't that be muscle volume or circumference or something like that?
