Relationship between food intake and ketone body. Correlation between food intake and plasma 3HB levels in non-diabetic (n = 16) and diabetic (n = 20) rats (a). 24-hour food intake was measured, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or blood samples were obtained 7 or 8 days after STZ or vehicle treatment. Pearson’s correlation coefficient is shown. Correlation between CSF and plasma levels of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) (b), glucose (c), or non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) (d) in non-diabetic and diabetic rats (n = 7 for each group). Pearson’s correlation coefficient is shown
