прикладной

DL-β-Hydroxybutyric acid sodium salt has been used:
as a standard for quantifying blood plasma and milk β-hydroxybutyric acid in Danish Jersey cows.
to investigate its anticonvulsant effects in epilepsy induced rats.
to induce hyperketonemia in Holstein dairy cows.

Neuroprotective compound in experimental models of neurodegenerative diseases. Shown to be oxidized as an energetic substrate in the brain during starvation. May inhibit brain glucose oxidation, which may account for the suppression of hepatic glucose production observed after administration of ketone bodies in humans.
