MedGen UID:
1781896
•Concept ID:
C5539577
•
Finding
HPO: HP:0033417

Definition

An increased concentration in the blood circulation of a hydroxybutyric acid, that is, of a compound comprising a butyric acid core carrying at least one hydroxy substituent. [from HPO]

Recent clinical studies

Etiology

Oral ketone monoester supplementation does not accelerate recovery of muscle force or modulate circulating cytokine concentrations after muscle-damaging eccentric exercise in healthy males and females.
