Question

What are ketone bodies and when are they produced?

Answer 1

$\huge\bf\mathfrak{HELLO}$
Ketone bodies are produced by the liver and used peripherally as an energy source when glucose is not readily available. The two main ketone bodies are acetoacetate (AcAc) and 3-beta-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), while acetone is the third, and least abundant, ketone body.
