Ketogenesis
Occurs in liver
Keto bodies are alternate fuel source
Physiological Conditions that Promote Ketogenesis
Fasting/starvation
Diabetes
Ketogenic diet
-High fat
-Newborn
All occur during low insulin
Ketone bodies
Acetoacetate
beta-hydroxybutyrate
-circulating fuels produced by liver, non-glucose foods during fasting
Acetone
Use of Ketone bodies
Produced in liverUsed by heart muscle/kidney
Starvation
: brain
Excess Ac-CoA - low OAA in TCA
Diabetics: acetone breath
Ketone body formation and export from the liver
Liver can do what with Acetyl-CoA
When low insulin/high beta oxydation, A-CoA exceeds Oxaloacetate, this means there are leftover A-CoA
