Abstract Purpose Ketone bodies, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3BOHB), and acetoacetate derive from
increased free fatty acid beta-oxidation, thus reflecting marked insulin deprivation with or …

Ketone bodies are derived from the accelerated beta-oxidation of fatty acids during
prolonged starvation or severely impaired carbohydrate metabolism. D-3-hydroxybutyrate …

Objective Serum α-hydroxybutyrate (α-HB) is elevated in insulin resistance and diabetes.
We tested the hypothesis that the α-HB level predicts abnormal 1 h glucose levels and β-cell …

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) metabolite, 3-Hydroxyisobutyric acid (3-HIB) has
been identified as a secreted mediator of endothelial cell fatty acid transport and insulin …

Ketone bodies, including β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), acetoacetate (AA), and acetone, can
substitute and alternate with glucose under conditions of fuel/food deficiency. Ketone-body …

A film test for the rapid detection of plasma/serum 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) has been
developed. The film contains NAD, nitro blue tetrazolium, 3-OHB dehydrogenase, and …

Background: Quantifying mildly elevated ketone bodies is clinically and pathophysiologically
relevant, especially in the context of disease states as well as for monitoring of various diets …

The impact of a new test on the market, the [beta]-hydroxybutyric acid (BOH) assay, on
clinical decision-making in the emergency department (ED) has not been well studied. In …

Sažetak Introduction: The measurement of β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB) concentrations is a
corner stone of the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis and other ketonic states. The aim of …

Objective: We have determined whether the behavior of betahydroxybutyrate (BOHB) during
the 72-h fast of persons without evidence of hyperinsulinemic or any form of organic …
