Interaction Information:

Comment Random forest statistical analysis selected alpha-hydroxybutyrate (alpha-HB) as the top-ranked biochemical for separating insulin resistant from insulin sensitive subjectswith a 76% accuracy. By partition analysis, an alpha-HB value of 5 microg/ml was found to best separate insulin resistant from insulin sensitive subjects. alpha-HB also separated subjects with normal glucose tolerance from those with impaired fasting glycemia or impaired glucose tolerance independently of, and in an additive fashion to, insulin resistance. These associations were also independent of sex, age and BMI. alpha-hydroxybutyrate is an early marker for both insulin resistance and impaired glucose regulation.

Heptadecanoic acid

in blood plasma
Comment Alpha-hydroxybutyrate (alpha-HB) is an organic acid derived from alpha-ketobutyrate (alpha-KB). Alpha-HB may become elevated by at least two mechanisms: (1) elevation of hepatic glutathione stress resulting in an increased demand for glutathione production, and (2) elevation of the NADH/NAD+ ratio due to increased lipid oxidation. The first mechanism likely contributes to increased alpha-HB formation by supplying more alpha-KB substrate from increased cysteine anabolism. Consistent with this interpretation, the study showed statistically significant elevation of both alpha-KB and cysteine with increasing insulin resistance from the global screening data.
