Phosphorus containing metabolites (μmol/g), measured by 31P MRS, in tumour extracts at day 21 from MMTV-NEU-NT tumour-bearing control mice and mice treated with β-OHB (500 mg/kg), injected ip daily for 3 weeks. Phosphomonoesters (PME = phosphocholine (PC) + phosphoethanolamine (PE)), phosphodiesters (PDE = glycerophosphocholine + glycerophosphoethanolamine), inorganic phosphate (Pi), and β-ATP/Pi. Control: N = 8 to 13 (6 mice); Treated: N = 13–18 (12 mice), *p ≤ 0.05
