2. Ketone bodies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies

   Ketone bodies are transported from the liver to other tissues, where acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate can be reconverted to acetyl-CoA to produce reducing equivalents (NADH and FADH 2), via the citric acid cycle. Though it is the source of ketone bodies, the liver cannot use them for energy because it lacks the enzyme thiophorase (β ...

3. Exogenous ketone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exogenous_ketone

   Beta-Hydroxybutyrate β-Hydroxybutyrate, BHB, is also synthesized within liver cells; this is accomplished through the metabolism of fatty acids. Through a series of reactions, acetoacetate is first produced; and it is this acetoacetate that is reduced into β-hydroxybutyrate, catalyzed by the β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase enzyme.

4. Ketogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenesis

   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 ...

   “Omega-3 fatty acids may cause hair to enter its growth phase and stay in that phase longer, thus promoting hair growth,” says Yelena Wheeler, M.P.H., R.D.N. Sufficient fat intake is important ...

6. 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.

7. Fatty acid metabolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_metabolism

   Under these conditions, acetyl-CoA is diverted to the formation of acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate. [10] Acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and their spontaneous breakdown product, acetone, are frequently, but confusingly, known as ketone bodies (as they are not "bodies" at all, but water-soluble chemical substances). The ketones are ...
