The post-mortem relationship between beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), acetone and ethanol in ketoacidosisSimon Elliott
ROAR Forensics, Malvern Hills Science Park, Malvern, UK
Forensic Sci Int 198:53-7. 2010..Initial data suggest vitreous humour BHB could be a useful alternative in the absence of blood (same interpretative ranges may also apply).
