NCIt synonyms : Beta-hydroxybutyrate Supplement; R-1,3-Butanediol Supplement;
NCIt definition : A supplement composed of R-1,3-butanediol that may be used to increase the level of
the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), with potential protective and antineoplastic
activities. Upon administration of R-1,3-butanediol-based supplement, R-1,3-butanediol
is converted to BHB. BHB may activate the surface receptor hydroxycarboxylic acid
receptor 2 (HCAR2) and induce the transcriptional regulator homeodomain-only protein
(HOPX), thereby inhibiting cell proliferation in intestinal epithelial cells that
express HCAR2 and HOPX.;
