BHB assays

BHB assays refer to tests or analytical methods used to measure the concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in biological samples. Beta-hydroxybutyrate is one of the three ketone bodies produced by the liver during the breakdown of fatty acids in situations such as fasting, low-carbohydrate diets, or in individuals with untreated diabetes mellitus.
