Ketone bodies are created by the breakdown of fatty acid.

Ketone bodies are produced to help feed the brain.

The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source.

These ketone bodies enter the brain and substitute for glucose.

After the diet has been changed to lower blood glucose for 3 days, the brain gets 25% of its energy from ketone bodies.

It takes 48 hours for the brain to switch from glucose to ketone bodies.

It also takes a similar role in the ketone bodies synthesis pathway of the liver.

The ketone bodies acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate are used for energy.

Too much protein reduces the ketone bodies in your blood and blocks fat burning.

The mitochondrial form is responsible for the biosynthesis of ketone bodies.

Stored fat is broken into two parts, fatty acids, and ketone bodies.

When fat is broken down for energy, the body makes substances called ketones (or ketone bodies).

However, under ketotic conditions, the heart can effectively utilize ketone bodies for energy.

The brain uses these ketone bodies as fuel, thus cutting its requirement for glucose.

The ketone bodies produced in the liver can also cross the blood-brain barrier.

The concentration of ketone bodies in blood is maintained around 1 mg/dl.

The excess ketone bodies can significantly acidify the blood.

This state of having a lot of ketone bodies in your blood is called "Ketosis."

During prolonged periods of fasting, ketone bodies serve as the primary energy source for the brain.

Ketone bodies can be used for energy.

This is followed by ketonuria - excretion of ketone bodies in urine.

Ketonuria is a medical condition in which ketone bodies are present in the urine.

Ketone bodies power the brain instead of glucose.

Each of these ketone bodies easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and enters the brain.

Ketogenesis is the process by which ketone bodies are produced as a result of fatty acid breakdown.
