The New Ketone Alphabet Soup: BHB, HCA, and HDAC.
Commentary After nearly a century of clinical use, the mechanisms underlying the anti-seizure effects of the ketogenic diet (KD) remain unclear. Notwithstanding this dearth of knowledge, the KD's clinical utility appears to be expanding, as there is increasing evidence of its broad neuroprotective properties (1, 2). For both anti-seizure and neuroprotective actions, there have emerged a broad a...
متن کاملKetosis May Promote Brain Macroautophagy via Activation of Hypoxia- Inducible Factor-1
Ketogenic diets are markedly neuroprotective, but the basis of this effect is still poorly understood. Recent studies demonstrate that ketone bodies increase neuronal levels of hypoxiainducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), possibly owing to succinate-mediated inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase activity. Another recent study has observed reduced activity of mTORC1 in the cortex of rats fed a ketogenic diet...
متن کاملA novel chemical method for measuring ketone bodies in subclinical ketosis
Backgrounds: Subclinical ketosis can cause greater economic loss due to a lack of clinical symptoms. Objectives: The present study was aimed to design a chemical method for measuring serum ketone bodies in the affected subclinical cows. Methods: Acetoacetate concentrations were measured using a nitroprusside reaction and b-hydroxy butyric acid (BHBA) which was oxidized to acetoacetate using nan...
متن کاملThe therapeutic implications of ketone bodies: the effects of ketone bodies in pathological conditions: ketosis, ketogenic diet, redox states, insulin resistance, and mitochondrial metabolism.
The effects of ketone body metabolism suggests that mild ketosis may offer therapeutic potential in a variety of different common and rare disease states. These inferences follow directly from the metabolic effects of ketosis and the higher inherent energy present in d-beta-hydroxybutyrate relative to pyruvate, the normal mitochondrial fuel produced by glycolysis leading to an increase in the D...
متن کاملThe effect of ketone bodies on alanine and glutamine metabolism in isolated skeletal muscle from the fasted chick.
The effects of ketone bodies on the metabolism of alanine and glutamine were studied in isolated extensor digitorum communis (EDC) muscles from 24 h-fasted chicks. (1) Acetoacetate and DL-beta-hydroxybutyrate (4 mM) markedly inhibit branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) transamination and alanine formation. (2) Ketone bodies (1 and 4 mM) increase the intracellular concentration and release of glutam...
