Abstract
A comparison of two methods of measuring liver mitochondrial redox state demonstrated that a linear correlation exists between acetoacetate/beta-hydroxybutyrate ratio in arterial blood (arterial ketone body ratio; AKBR) and oxidized flavoprotein/reduced pyridine nucleotide in human liver tissue (FP/PN) as measured by tissue fluorescence spectroscopy, such that [FP/PN] = 0.64 + 0.49 x [AKBR] (r = 0.84, P less than 0.001). This result supports the validity of AKBR as a method of measuring the hepatic mitochondrial redox state of pyridine nucleotide using arterial blood.Entities:
