title: Short communication: beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity in human placenta.
abstract: It has been shown that mitochondria isolated from human placenta contain beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity. The properties of the beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from human early placenta are very similar to those of the enzyme isolated from other mammalian tissues.
