Short Description
Measures ketone bodies (acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate).
Development Stage
Research-Grade Metabolic Assay Development
Description
The OXPHOSight™ Ketone Body Assay Kit quantifies biomarkers of ketosis, facilitating the monitoring of diabetic ketoacidosis risk and the efficacy of ketogenic diet interventions. It precisely measures acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate, providing a complete picture of fatty acid breakdown. This assay is essential for metabolic clinical trials and for evaluating the safety and efficacy of drugs that influence ketone body production.
