Contribution of 3-hydroxyisobutyrate to the measurement of 3-hydroxybutyrate in human plasma: comparison of enzymatic and gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry assays in normal and in diabetic subjects.

In this study we employed a capillary gas-liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GLC-MS) method to measure the plasma concentrations of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) and 3-hydroxyisobutyrate (3-OHIB) in overnight fasted diabetic subjects and in normal subjects. Plasma contents of 3-hydroxybutyrate m...
