Research Summary
3-Hydroxybutyric acid (3-HBA) is a naturally occurring organic compound and a type of hydroxy acid that is often produced during the metabolic breakdown of fats in the body. It is a key intermediate in the process of ketogenesis, which occurs in the liver when the body metabolizes fatty acids for energy, particularly during periods of fasting, prolonged exercise, or carbohydrate restriction. 3-HBA, also known as a beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) derivative, is one of the three primary ketone bodies, along with acetoacetate and acetone, that provide an alternative energy source for various tissues, including the brain, during periods of low glucose availability. It has also gained attention for its potential therapeutic applications in treating metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and as a supplement for enhancing athletic performance.
