Muscle weakness is a complication of critical illness which hampers recovery. In critically ill mice, supplementation with the ketone body 3-hydroxybutyrate has been shown to improve muscle force and to normalize illness-induced hypocholesterolemia. We hypothesized that altered cholesterol homeostasis is involved in development of critical illness-induced muscle weakness and that this pathway can be affected by 3-hydroxybutyrate. In both human critically ill patients and septic mice, the association between circulating cholesterol c
