  • Title: Incorporation of label from D- -hydroxy( 14 C)butyrate and (3- 14 C)acetoacetate into amino acids in rat brain in vivo.
    Author: Cremer JE.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1971 Apr; 122(2):135-8. PubMed ID: 5117566.
    Abstract:
    The metabolism of ketone bodies by rat brain was studied in vivo. Rats starved for 48h were given either d-beta-hydroxy[3-(14)C]butyrate or [3-(14)C]acetoacetate by intravenous injection and killed after 3 or 10min. Total radioactivity in the acid-soluble material of the brain and the specific radioactivities of the brain amino acids glutamate, glutamine, aspartate and gamma-aminobutyrate were determined. A group of fed animals were also given d-beta-hydroxy[3-(14)C]butyrate. In the brains of all animals (14)C was present in the acid-soluble material and the specific radioactivity of glutamate was greater than that of glutamine.
