A study was conducted on the metabolism of ketone bodies in tissue preparations from normal and dystrophic chicks. The data indicated that the production of ketone bodies in liver homogenates, as a result of fatty acid oxidation, was not markedly altered by development of the dystrophic condition. Whereas acetoacetate was oxidized by normal and degenerative pectoral muscle to approximately the same extent, utilization of β-hydroxybutyrate in dystrophic muscle was markedly poorer. In view of present concepts of the reactions involved in the metabolism of ketone bodies the results suggest that in the chick myopathy the conversion of β-hydroxybutyrate to acetoacetate may be impaired.
