Determination of ketone body kinetics using a D-(-)-3-hydroxy[4,4,4-2H3]butyrate tracer.

In studies where D-(-)-3-hydroxy[4,4,4-2H3]butyrate is employed as isotopic tracer in vivo, we have described a selected ion monitoring, gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry micromethod which measures [2H3] tracer enrichment in 3-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate from 300-microliters blood sam...
