What is the utility of blood beta-hydroxybutyrate measurements in emergency department in patients without diabetes: a systematic review

Systematic Reviews, 2023
Background Ketones are synthesised as an alternative fuel source during times of energy restriction. In the absence of a hyperglycemic emergency, ketosis in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) may indicate reduced carbohydrate intake. In

The Significance of an Increased Beta-Hydroxybutyrate at Presentation to the Emergency Department in Patients with Diabetes in the Absence of a Hyperglycemic Emergency

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2019
The significance of hyperketonemia in adults with diabetes presenting to the emergency department with acute illness, not due to a diabetic hyperglycemic emergency, has not been well characterized. Adult patients with diabetes presenting to the emergency

Occurrence of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate in Spirulina species

Journal of Bacteriology, 1990
Several strains of photoautotrophically grown Spirulina spp. contained poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) at concentrations never exceeding a few milligrams per gram of dry weight. Under mixotrophic growth conditions in the presence of acetate, PHB reached values greater than 2.5% of dry weight. With pyruvate, no significant effect on PHB accumulation was

Role of Blood Ketone Levels in the Diagnosis and Management of Patients with Diabetes Ketoacidosis: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Introduction: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), a potentially fatal complication of diabetes, is characterised by accumulation of ketone bodies, metabolic acidosis, and hyperglycaemia. Blood ketone levels serve as key indicators for the diagnosis and

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.
