Salt-Responsive Metabolite, β-Hydroxybutyrate, Attenuates Hypertension
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Dietary salt reduction and exercise are lifestyle modifications for salt-sensitive hypertensives. While exercise has prominent metabolic effects, salt has an adverse effect on metabolic syndrome, of which hypertension is a hallmark.

Accumulation of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate byRhodobacter sphaeroideson various carbon and nitrogen substrates [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1998 Combinations of various carbon and nitrogen substrates were used to study poly-β-hydroxybutyrate accumulation and H2 evolution by Rhodobacter sphaeroides strain RV. The cells evolved hydrogen on lactate, pyruvate, or succinate under nitrogen-deprived conditions and on lactate-glutamate and pyruvate-glutamate media.
