Extra Details:: B Beta-hydroxybutyrate (B Beta-HB), C4H8O3, accounts for about 75% of the total ketone body. Patients with diabetic ketoacidosis have increased production of NADH, which promotes the conversion of acetoacetic acid into B Beta-HB. Therefore, the level of B Beta-hydroxybutyrate can be used as an index to evaluate glycosuria. B Beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase can catalyze the oxidative dehydrogenation of B Beta-HB. Meanwhile, NAD+ is reduced to NADH, Which under the action of hydrogen transmitter, transfer electrons to WST-8 to produce the yellow product. The content of B Beta-HB can be calculated by measuring the change of absorbance value at 450 nm.
