3-hydroxybutyric acid and Hypothermia, Accidental

3-hydroxybutyric acid has been researched along with Hypothermia, Accidental in 12 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Five case reports are presented pertaining to diabetic ketoacidosis in an adult who was not known to suffer from diabetes and in presence of multiple psychotropic substances; fatal flecainide intoxication in a poor metabolizer also presenting an impaired renal function; diabetic ketoacidosis showing severe postmortem changes; primary aldosteronism presented with intracranial hemorrhage and hypothermia showing severe postmortem changes."3.78Usefulness of postmortem biochemistry in forensic pathology: illustrative case reports. ( Augsburger, M; Lesta, Mdel M; Mangin, P; Palmiere, C; Sabatasso, S; Sporkert, F, 2012)
"Positive BHB is proof of endogenous ketoacidosis, whereas negative BHB indicates isopropanol intoxication or postmortem acetone/isopropanol formation by microorganisms in cases of decomposition."1.56Postmortem diagnosis of ketoacidosis: Levels of beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetone and isopropanol in different causes of death. ( Eriksson Hydara, Y; Zilg, B, 2020)
"Hypothermia and diabetic ketoacidosis are both potentially fatal conditions, which have historically been considered to have associated pathognomonic pathologies."1.48Basal Subnuclear Vacuolization, Armanni-Ebstein Lesions, Wischnewsky Lesions, and Elevated Vitreous Glucose and β-Hydroxybuyrate: Is It Hypothermia, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, or Both? ( Garland, J; Kesha, K; Stables, S; Triggs, Y; Tse, R; Yap, Z, 2018)
"Hypothermia was considered to be the cause of death according to circumstantial elements indicating exposure to cold, autopsy findings, biochemical investigation results and exclusion of other causes of death."1.40Post-mortem β-hydroxybutyrate determination in synovial fluid. ( Palmiere, C; Werner, D, 2014)
"However, in ketosis, acetone can be reduced to IPA."1.38Blood, urine and vitreous isopropyl alcohol as biochemical markers in forensic investigations. ( Augsburger, M; Bardy, D; Mangin, P; Palmiere, C; Sporkert, F; Werner, D, 2012)
"Death was, therefore, due to diabetic ketoacidosis complicated by hypothermia."1.36Erosive gastritis, Armanni-Ebstein phenomenon and diabetic ketoacidosis. ( Byard, RW; Zhou, C, 2010)
"Hypothermia is a well-known concomitant of hypoglycemia in mammals."1.28Hypothermia is critical for survival during prolonged insulin-induced hypoglycemia in rats. ( Buchanan, TA; Cane, P; Eng, CC; Lee, C; Sipos, GF, 1991)
