Abstract

The current methods for the estimation of f,hydroxybutyrate (e.g.Greenberg & Lester, 1944; Thin & Robertson, 1952; Bloom, 1958; Bessman & Anderson, 1957) all involve its oxidation to acetone and the estimation of the latter.These methods are laborious and have several unsatisfactory features.They are unspecific in that other compounds also yield acetone on oxidation and they do not differ- entiate between the optical isomers.Moreover, the conversion of f-hydroxybutyrate into acetone is not quantitative and the yield varies with the con- ditions.The method described in this paper is in principle more specific and more rapid than the older procedures.It is analogous to the enzymic determination of many other metabolites.It depends on the spectrophotometric measurement of

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
