3-hydroxybutyric acid and Hyperandrogenism

3-hydroxybutyric acid has been researched along with Hyperandrogenism in 1 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.

Hyperandrogenism: A condition caused by the excessive secretion of ANDROGENS from the ADRENAL CORTEX; the OVARIES; or the TESTES. The clinical significance in males is negligible. In women, the common manifestations are HIRSUTISM and VIRILISM as seen in patients with POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME and ADRENOCORTICAL HYPERFUNCTION.

"To investigate the relationship between leptin levels and IDDM with and without microalbuminuria, fasting serum levels of leptin, insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), testosterone (SHBG) ratio, blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) were measured in 18 normo- and 11 microalbuminuric females with >5 years of IDDM, and 24 healthy controls in late puberty."7.70Serum leptin levels in young females with insulin-dependent diabetes and the relationship to hyperandrogenicity and microalbuminuria.
