How to use
In Vitro:
(R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic acid (D-3-Hydroxybutyric acid) is a metabolite, and converted from acetoacetic acid. Enhanced hepatic fatty acid oxidation results in the increased production of acetoacetic acid which is in turn converted to (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic acid by a reaction catalyzed by 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase.
