2. Exogenous ketone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exogenous_ketone

   The body can make BHB endogenously, via the liver, due to starvation, ketogenic diets, or prolonged exercise, leading to ketosis. [2] However, with the introduction of exogenous ketone supplements, it is possible to provide a user with an instant supply of ketones even if the body is not within a state of ketosis before ingestion.

3. β-Hydroxybutyric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-Hydroxybutyric_acid

   β-Hydroxybutyric acid, also known as 3-hydroxybutyric acid or BHB, is an organic compound and a beta hydroxy acid with the chemical formula CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CO 2 H; its conjugate base is β-hydroxybutyrate, also known as 3-hydroxybutyrate. β-Hydroxybutyric acid is a chiral compound with two enantiomers: D-β-hydroxybutyric acid and L-β-hydroxybutyric acid.

4. β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-hydroxy_β-methylbutyric...

   β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid [note 1] (HMB), otherwise known as its conjugate base, β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate, is a naturally produced substance in humans that is used as a dietary supplement and as an ingredient in certain medical foods that are intended to promote wound healing and provide nutritional support for people with muscle wasting due to cancer or HIV/AIDS.

5. Ketosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis

   Ketosis is a metabolic state characterized by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood or urine. Physiological ketosis is a normal response to low glucose availability. . In physiological ketosis, ketones in the blood are elevated above baseline levels, but the body's acid–base homeostasis is maintain

6. Ketogenic diet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet

   The ketogenic ratio of the diet compares the weight of fat to the combined weight of carbohydrate and protein. This is typically 4:1, but children who are younger than 18 months, older than 12 years, or who are obese may be started on a 3:1 ratio.

7. γ-Hydroxybutyric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Γ-hydroxybutyric_acid

   The sodium salt of GHB has a salty taste. [31] Other salt forms such as calcium GHB and magnesium GHB have also been reported, [34] but the sodium salt is by far the most common. Some prodrugs, such as γ-butyrolactone (GBL), convert to GHB in the stomach and bloodstream. Other prodrugs exist, such as 1,4-butanediol (1,4-B). [35]
