3-hydroxybutyric acid and Convulsive Generalized Seizure Disorder

3-hydroxybutyric acid has been researched along with Convulsive Generalized Seizure Disorder in 3 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.

" Twenty children with intractable Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) were fasted 36 h and then randomized to receive the classic KD in conjunction with a solution containing either 60 g/day of glucose or saccharin."5.14A blinded, crossover study of the efficacy of the ketogenic diet. ( Freeman, JM; Goodman, SN; Kossoff, EH; Pyzik, PL; Vining, EP; Ye, X, 2009)
"We evaluated the ability of the ketogenic diet (KD) to improve thresholds to flurothyl-induced seizures in two mouse lines with Scn1a mutations: one that models Dravet syndrome (DS) and another that models genetic (generalized) epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+)."3.77Protective effect of the ketogenic diet in Scn1a mutant mice.
