2. Ketogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenesis

   Both acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate are acidic, and, if levels of these ketone bodies are too high, the pH of the blood drops, resulting in ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is known to occur in untreated type I diabetes (see diabetic ketoacidosis ) and in alcoholics after prolonged binge-drinking without intake of sufficient carbohydrates (see ...

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. Exogenous ketone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exogenous_ketone

   The most researched ketone ester, or ketone monoester, is called D-Beta Hydroxybutyrate/ D 1,3-butanediol monoester, which is a naturally derived compound through a fermentation process. It was created by Dr. Richard Veech and Todd King at the NIH, and then commercialized by companies including KetoneAid and TDeltaS, and previously by HVMN, a ...

5. Ketone bodies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies

   Acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and their spontaneous breakdown product, acetone, [9] are known as ketone bodies. The ketone bodies are released by the liver into the blood. All cells with mitochondria can take ketone bodies up from the blood and reconvert them into acetyl-CoA, which can then be used as fuel in their citric acid cycles, as ...

6. Ketosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis

   Although beta-hydroxybutyrate is the predominant circulating ketone, urine test strips only measure acetoacetate. Urinary ketones often correlate poorly with serum levels because of variability in excretion of ketones by the kidney, influence of hydration status, and renal function. [1] [8]

7. Ketotic hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketotic_hypoglycemia

   Ketotic hypoglycemia refers to any circumstance in which low blood glucose is accompanied by ketosis, the presence of ketone bodies (such as beta-hydroxybutyrate) in the blood or urine. This state can be either physiologic or pathologic; physiologic ketotic hypoglycemia is a common cause of hypoglycemia in children, often in response to ...
