3-hydroxybutyric acid and Dry Eye Syndromes

3-hydroxybutyric acid has been researched along with Dry Eye Syndromes 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.

Dry Eye Syndromes: Corneal and conjunctival dryness due to deficient tear production, predominantly in menopausal and post-menopausal women. Filamentary keratitis or erosion of the conjunctival and corneal epithelium may be caused by these disorders. Sensation of the presence of a foreign body in the eye and burning of the eyes may occur.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The present study suggested that 1% D-3-hydroxybutyrate eye drops are safe and effective in treating ocular surface disorders in patients with tear-deficient dry eye disease."2.82Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind Study of the Safety and Efficacy of 1%D-3-Hydroxybutyrate eye drops for Dry Eye Disease. ( Arai, H; Fukagawa, K; Hata, S; Kawakita, T; Okano, T; Sakatani, K; Shimazaki, S; Tanaka, M; Toda, I; Tsubota, K; Uchino, M; Yoshino, K, 2016)
"This rat dry eye model, established by repeated JB treatment in desiccating conditions, induced abnormal tear dynamics and superficial punctate keratopathy similar to that in humans."1.33D-beta-hydroxybutyrate protects against corneal epithelial disorders in a rat dry eye model with jogging board.
