2. Ketone bodies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies

   Acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and their spontaneous breakdown product, acetone, [9] are known as ketone bodies. The ketone bodies are released by the liver into the blood. All cells with mitochondria can take ketone bodies up from the blood and reconvert them into acetyl-CoA, which can then be used as fuel in their citric acid cycles, as ...

   Both acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate are acidic, and, if levels of these ketone bodies are too high, the pH of the blood drops, resulting in ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is known to occur in untreated type I diabetes (see diabetic ketoacidosis ) and in alcoholics after prolonged binge-drinking without intake of sufficient carbohydrates (see ...

4. β-Hydroxybutyric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-Hydroxybutyric_acid

   β-Hydroxybutyric acid, also known as 3-hydroxybutyric acid or BHB, is an organic compound and a beta hydroxy acid with the chemical formula CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 CO 2 H; its conjugate base is β-hydroxybutyrate, also known as 3-hydroxybutyrate. β-Hydroxybutyric acid is a chiral compound with two enantiomers: D-β-hydroxybutyric acid and L-β-hydroxybutyric acid.

6. Exogenous ketone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exogenous_ketone

   [4] [3] Although, β-hydroxybutyrate is technically not a ketone due to the structure of the molecule (OH- attached to carbonyl group makes this an acid),BHB acts like a ketone, providing the body with energy in the absence of glucose. [1] In fact, β-Hydroxybutyrate is the most abundant ketone-like molecule in the blood during ketosis. [5] Acetone

   Alternatively, acetoacetate can spontaneously degrade to a third ketone body (acetone) and carbon dioxide, which generates much greater concentrations of acetoacetate and D-β-hydroxybutyrate. The resulting ketone bodies cannot be used for energy by the liver so are exported from the liver to supply energy to the brain and peripheral tissues.
