Acetoacetate, p-hydroxybutyrate and acetone; acetoacetate and acetone are chemically ketones; although 3-hydroxybutyrate is not, it is included in the term ketone bodies because of its metabolic relationship with acetoacetate.<\/p>\n
Fatty acid derivatives that can function as energy sources in the body include \u03b2-oxybutyric acid, acetoacetic acid, and acetone.<\/p>\n
Ketone compounds formed from fatty acids.<\/p>\n
Products (acetone, B-hydroxybutyric acid, and acetoacetic acid) of the breakdown of fats in the body. Excessive fat metabolism and production of ketone bodies lead to their excretion in urine, as in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.<\/p>\n
A group of compounds produced by fatty acid metabolism, found in blood and urine only when a metabolic disturbance is present.<\/p>\n
A red blood cell precursor (erythroblast) in which iron-containing granules can be demonstrated by suitable staining techniques. Sideroblasts may be seen in normal individuals and are absent in iron deficiency. A certain type of anemia (sideroblastic anemia) is characterized by the presence of abnormal ringed sideroblasts.<\/p>\n
A term used interchangeably with “department” when referring to elements of the hospital organization, and which may refer to the hospital or its medical staff. The nursing department may be called the nursing service, the pharmacy the pharmacy service, the housekeeping department the housekeeping service, and so on. When used in the plural, “hospital services” more commonly refers to the clinical services or clinical departments of the medical staff than to the hospital’s administrative units.<\/p>\n
Ketone bodies are a toxic waste product that builds up in the body if fats are burned for energy in the absence of carbohydrates. This buildup, or ketosis, can result in fatigue, nausea, and nerve and brain damage.<\/p>\n
Soluble compounds synthesized by the liver from fatty acids in situations of starvation or calorie-restricted diets combined with limited carbohydrate intake.<\/p>\n
Compounds produced by the liver when there is a disruption in the digestion of fats, as seen in cases like diabetes.<\/p>\n
