3-hydroxybutyric acid and Alzheimer Disease

3-hydroxybutyric acid has been researched along with Alzheimer Disease in 21 studies

3-Hydroxybutyric Acid: BUTYRIC ACID substituted in the beta or 3 position. It is one of the ketone bodies produced in the liver.
3-hydroxybutyric acid : A straight-chain 3-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid comprising a butyric acid core with a single hydroxy substituent in the 3- position; a ketone body whose levels are raised during ketosis, used as an energy source by the brain during fasting in humans. Also used to synthesise biodegradable plastics.

Alzheimer Disease: A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1049-57)

"Donepezil is a first-line acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used for the treatment of AD that has been found, in addition to its potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitory effect, to act through other non-cholinergic mechanisms such as affecting mitochondrial biogenesis through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator (PGC1α)."1.48Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor Donepezil Effects on Plasma β-Hydroxybutyrate Levels in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease. ( Chen, L; Fu, J; Guo, C; Huang, J; Huo, Y; Lu, J; Wan, L; Xin, B; Yang, Q; Zhong, Y, 2018)
"Sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) is responsible for 60%-80% of dementia cases, and the most opportune time for preventive intervention is in the earliest stage of its preclinical phase."1.43Ketones block amyloid entry and improve cognition in an Alzheimer's model. ( Dharshaun, T; Eisenberg, D; Gao, M; Han, P; Maalouf, M; Reiman, EM; Ryan, C; Schweizer, FE; Shi, J; Whitelegge, J; Wu, J; Yin, JX; Zhao, M, 2016)
"KME-induced hyperketonemia is robust, convenient, and safe, and the ester can be taken as an oral supplement without changing the habitual diet."1.42A new way to produce hyperketonemia: use of ketone ester in a case of Alzheimer's disease. ( Kashiwaya, Y; King, MT; Newport, MT; VanItallie, TB; Veech, RL, 2015)

( Liu, F; Tian, W; Wei, T; Xie, G, 2015)
