Abstract

The ketone bodies acetoacetate (AcAc) and β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB) are the subject of renewed interest given recently established pleiotropic effects regulating inflammation, oxidative stress, and gene expression. Anticatabolic effects of β-hydroxybutyrate have recently been demonstrated in human skeletal muscle under inflammatory insult, thereby expanding upon the wide-ranging therapeutic applications of nutritional ketosis.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
