Abstract
D(m)-β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity is very low in normal adult rat brain; but during fasting it increases severalfold in parallel with the ketosis. The increase may represent part of a mechanism by which the brain adapts to changing patterns of substrate supply during starvation.Keywords
