Mice received D-BHB, L-BHB, or 1,3-butanediol by gavage, once or daily for 8 days. Both BHB forms raised liver ATP while 1,3-butanediol depleted it. After 8 days butanediol lowered mitochondrial complex II respiration and raised IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, CRP, and liver triglycerides. BHB groups stayed at control levels. The BHB material came from Ketone Labs.
A goBHB specialist picks these up and answers inside one business day.
