| Description | 1,3-Butanediol (BD) is a ketogenic substance. Ketone bodies are essential energy substrates in the absence of exogenous nutrients, and more recently, they have been suggested to prevent disease and improve longevity. |
| In vivo | 1,3-Butanediol treatment effectively decreased food intake and body weight in diet induced obese mice.1,3-butanediol lowers blood pressure and renal injury in female rats[1]. |
