β-Hydroxybutyrate (Ketone Body) Colorimetric Assay Kit

β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB), C4H8O3, accounts for about 75% of the total ketone body. Patients with diabetic ketoacidosis have increased production of NADH, which promotes the conversion of acetoacetic acid into β-HB. Therefore, the level of β-hydroxybutyrate can be used as an index to evaluate glycosuria.

With this kit, β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidative dehydrogenation of β-HB. Meanwhile, NAD+ is reduced to NADH, which under the action of hydrogen transmitter, transfers electrons to WST-8 to produce a yellow product. The content of β-HB can be calculated by measuring the change of absorbance value at 450 nm. This kit is useful for researchers studying ketone body metabolism and diabetes.
