The degradation of gel-spun poly(beta-hydroxybutyrate) fibrous matrix
Poly(β-hydroxybutyrate), (PHB), is a biologically produced, biodegradable thennoplastic with commercial potential. In this work the qualitative and quantitative investigations of the structure and degradation of a previously unstudied, novel, fibrous form of PHB, were completed. This gel-spun PHB …

The Effect of The Modification of The Acidic and Zwitterionic Phospholipid Composition on The Enzymatic Activity of D-Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase
… composition on the enzymatic activity of D-beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) was examined. Phospholipase D was used to increase the acidic phospholipid composition. This enzyme hydrolyzed primarily zwitterionic phospholipids to phosphatidic acid, an acidic phospholipid. The …

The Association Between Non-Esterified Fatty Acids And Beta-Hydroxybutyrate During The Transition Period In Holstein Dairy Cows And Negative Downstream Outcomes - Disease Incidence, Milk Production And Reproduction
… Non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and betahydroxybutyrate (BHBA) are measurable blood metabolites used to estimate the level of NEB. The objectives of herein were to: 1) identify critical concentrations of NEFA and BHBA above which the development of diseases were more likely; 2) …

Lateral organization and dynamics of phospholipids in membrane
… However, another integral membrane protein, D-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH), reorganized the phospholipids in the bilayer into a nonrandom distribution. Although the enzyme has a specific requirement for phosphatidylcholine for activity, the extent of energy transfer decreased in …

Acid-base regulation during sprint exercise in horses fed lecithin
… [K⁺], [SID], albumin, free fatty acids, and beta~-hydroxybutyrate concentrations, and decreased blood lactate ([Lac⁻]), plasma [Cl⁻], [H⁺], cholesterol, and heart rate during exercise. Horses consuming the corn oil/lecithin supplemented diet had a higher pvCO₂, [HCO₃⁻], [Cl⁻], cholesterol, …

Ketogenic Diet is Protective During Endotoxin-Induced Lung Injury
… cell chemotaxis. In addition, treating mice with beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the primary metabolite of ketogenesis, before or after the onset of septic ARDS has also been shown to reduce pulmonary edema and lung inflammation, implying a potential molecular mechanism for the ketogenic diet-mediated …

A STUDY OF THE MICROORGANISMS INHABITING ROTATING BIOLOGICAL CONTACTOR BIOFILMS DURING VARIOUS OPERATING CONDITIONS
… bacteria appear to store sulfur and poly-(beta)-hydroxybutyrate. As loading rates decrease Gram-negative bacteria, with fewer inclusion bodies, predominate. At very low loading rates the biofilm constituents are almost exclusively prosthecate-like and nitrifying-like bacteria. A theoretical …

Hepatic acetogenesis and ketogenesis in neonatal swine
Reports of low circulating ketone bodies ($\beta$-hydroxybutyrate, $\beta$-OHB & acetoacetate) in suckling piglets and evidence of minimal hepatic ketone body production from fatty acids in vitro suggested that, unlike previously-studied neonates, enhanced ketogenesis does not characterize the …

L-Carnitine Supplementation for Periparturient Dairy Cows
… on d 2 but not on d 10. Accordingly, plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate concentrations were elevated in the 50 and 100 g/d treatments in the first 2 wk of lactation. Carnitine supplementation decreased liver triglyceride, increased liver glycogen, and stimulated in vitro conversion of alanine to …

A Comprehensive Analysis of SGLT2-inhibition in Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Failure
… 95%CI: 0.60 to 1.74; p<0.001 and increased serum beta-hydroxybutyrate; +0.04 mmol/L; 95%CI: 0.001 to 0.08; p=0.045. They were also more likely to stop or reduce their dose of loop diuretics; 50.0% vs 8.7%; p=0.005. Further exploratory analysis revealed that dapagliflozin may improve measures of LV …

Effects of nutritional strategies on rumen environment and performance in dairy cows
… d after calving. Blood samples were analyzed for beta-hydroxybutyrate at d 5 and 14 after calving. Cows that had blood beta-hydroxybutyrate concentrations higher than 1.2 mmol/L were classified as experiencing sub-clinical ketosis. Treatment DFM tended to have lower haptoglobin concentration than …

The Effects of Acute Ketone Monoester Ingestion on Resting Cerebral Blood Flow and Cognition in Young Adults
Ketone monoester (KME) supplements are one exogenous ketone intervention which has demonstrated benefits to multiple facets of brain health, including cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cognition. However, it is unknown how KME impact CBF and cognition acutely, and whether the size of KME dose …

Environmental, Biochemical, and Dietary Factors that Influence Rumen Development in Dairy Calves
… samples were analyzed for concentrations of beta-hydroxybutyrate, glucose, LPS-binding protein, and VFA. Data were analyzed as a 2x2 factorial with the repeated effect of week. Three non-orthogonal contrasts (CON versus the average of all other treatments; LPS-O versus LPSB, and LPSB versus …
