Concentration of ketones in plasma
From WikiLectures
Here is an overview of the plasma concentrations of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-HB) in different situations:
| Concentration of 3−hydroxybutyrate in plasma | Concentration of free fatty acids (FFA) in plasma | |
|---|---|---|
| After a meal | ~ 0.05 mmol/l | < 0.2 mmol/l |
| 12-hour fasting | < 0.2 mmol/l | ~ 0.4 mmol/l |
| 21-day fasting | ~ 5.0 mmol/l | ~ 1.5 mmol/l |
| T1DM; ketoacidosis; pH = 7.0 | ~ 20.0 mmol/l | ~ 5.0 mmol/l |
The maximum rate of formation of ketone bodies is reached at a plasma concentration of ~ 12 mmol/l.
