HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Lower than appropriate concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate in states such as hypoglycemia in which the normal response would be to elevate acetoacetate.
Comment:Ketone synthesis in the liver produces acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate from two acetyl CoA molecules. This occurs during ketoacidosis in physiological (starvation) and disease-associated (diabetic ketoacidosis) states.
