Table 2 Effect of β-OHB in the culture medium on uptake of β-OHB, uptake of glucose and output of lactate. Uptake and output data are the means from the experiment shown in Fig. 7, N = 3
β-OHB in medium (mM) | β-OHB uptakea | Glucose uptakea | Lactate outputa | β-OHB ATP as % of lactate ATP |
|---|---|---|---|---|

0.5 | 0.26 | 5.8 | 6.3 | 54% |
5 | 0.42 | 4.0 | 6.0 | 91% |
