Abstract: | A sensitive spectrophotometric assay for 3-hydroxybutyrate determination in biological samples is described. Linearity between the amount of 3-hydroxybutyrate and ΔA546 was obtained in the range of 0.3 to 4.0 nmol 3-hydroxybutyrate/assay. The same method is applicable for acetoacetate determination after its enzymatic reduction. The assay proved to be useful for the study of the subcellular distribution of ketone bodies in isolated liver cells. The assay procedure is adequate to measure the concentration of ketone bodies in 5-mg and 20μl samples from liver and blood, respectively. |
