(1) These substances are referred to collectively as ketone bodies.

(2) In the blood the fatty acid and the ketone body big trough increase when.

(3) Postoperative arterial blood ketone body ratio (KBR)was compared with the clinical course in 169 cases undergoing major surgery, all patients were divided into three groups.

(4) It suggests that the metabolism of ketone body is correlative with the status of glycogen stores and the fatty acid metabolism.

(5) Results shown: positive percentage of urine ketone body is 10% and that of milk ketone body is 29.

(6) Objective:To research the significance of serum acetonic ketone body ratio(AKBR) for judging the severity and prognosis of infectious multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS).

(7) Results Aterial blood ketone body ratio and energy charge of liver decreased with the increase of serum bile acids concentration.

(8) Zonation of ketone body and glucose metabolism was studied in hepatocyte preparations enriched with cells from the periportal or the perivenous zone of the liver lobule.

(9) Therefore the ketone body has the direct inhibitory action regarding the skeletal muscle protein decomposition.

(10) Applications Direct assays of ketone body in serum, plasma, urine and other biological samples.

(11) Arterial blood ketone body ratio (AKBR) was determined in 30cases of moderate and advanced hepatoma before and after hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy and embolization.

(12) Administration of octanoate to stimulate ketogenesis showed only slight increase of ketone body in perivenous zone.
