Diabetes and aortic dissection: unraveling the role of 3-hydroxybutyrate through mendelian randomization

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background In observational and experimental studies, diabetes has been reported as a protective factor for aortic dissection. 3-Hydroxybutyrate, a key constituent of ketone bodies, has been found to favor improvements in cardiovascular disease. However,

The use of sodium DL-3-Hydroxybutyrate in severe acute neuro-metabolic compromise in patients with inherited ketone body synthetic disorders

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020
Background Ketone bodies form a vital energy source for end organs in a variety of physiological circumstances. At different times, the heart, brain and skeletal muscle in particular can use ketones as a primary substrate.

Factors influencing the utilization of ketone bodies by mouse adipose tissue

Journal of Lipid Research, 1966
Factors influencing the utilization of ketone bodies by mouse adipose tissue in vitro were studied. Epididymal fat pads can oxidize dl-Β-hydroxybutyrate-3-14C and acetoacetate-3-14C to 14CO2 as well as convert these compounds to fatty acid-14C.

The potential protective effect of 3-Hydroxybutyrate against aortic dissection: a mendelian randomization analysis

Nutrition & Metabolism
Background 3-Hydroxybutyrate, also called β-hydroxybutyrate, is a significant constituent of ketone bodies. Previous observational and experimental studies have suggested that ketogenic diet, especially 3-hydroxybutyrate, may have a protective effect ...
