Description

The D-isomer of 3-hydroxybutyric acid (also termed β-hydroxybutyrate, βOHB) is an important ketone body in the metabolism of humans and animals. (Chemically speaking it is not a ketone but is simply converted into a ketone by dehydrogenase activity). βOHB has been looked upon as a carrier of energy from the liver to peripheral tissues (heart and kidneys) during fasting and exercise. Historically, the association with diabetes and starvation have given the ketone bodies a morbid connotation. Only more recently, βOHB is also recognized as a potentially powerful nutritional supplement and a signaling molecule. Since D-3-hydroxybutyrate can supply a great deal of energy, it is added to the diet to treat a variety of diseases and to support a ketogenic diet, for example in the treatment of infant’s epilepsy or diabetes. Newman and Verdin (2017) presented a model of how ketone bodies and βOHB in particular might turn off genes that otherwise accelerate aging.
