Ketogenesis and Ketones in 2 minutes!

Ketones are formed and used when glucose is low or fatty acids are high.
They are an alternative energy source (mainly for the brain).
Ketones are often formed during times of fasting, starvation, alcohol intake, increased fatty acid intake, and uncontrolled type 1 diabetes.

That was the most clear and concise explanation of ketogenesis ever!!

me reviewing for 4hrs then you explain it in just 2 min, incredible!!

[iranjackheelson]

This is so.... satisfying. We need more of this!!!! More videos on ketogenesis please!!! How about autophagy too along the way?

[shahidhussain]

I guess it's so underrated in terms of likes! Thanks a lot for this precise video❤️

[bloop]

insanely excellent explanation!!! really helps to link a lot of metabolic pathways for me that were confusing when learned separately. thank you

[shabeermohamed]

best quick explanation of ketones .thanks

[aminamohdhar]

Life changing! Thank you for the nice quick explanation :)

[FriendlyTroll]

Wow you've done a wonderful job. This video was perfect!

[creamcheech]

That was great! Clear, concise, and informative. Like a little explosion of connecting dots! I'm currently testing LiAcAc on certain cancer cells to see if metabolism can function normally and it's giving interesting results! 🔬

So in case of no glucose in body, oxalo-acetate is pulled out from mitochondrio to form glucose? And when all Oxalo-acetate is used, Krebs cycle can't occur and Acetyl-CoA will accumulate. I hope I understood it correctly! This was amazing video!! OMG you're great!

[jamilaja]

That was awesome! Thanks! Will use in an assignment!

[merielchudleigh]

brilliant..will use on the diabetes post reg nurses module

[hamayoonshalizi]

Thank you so mach very easy and fantatic explination

If OAA is absent how is acytelcoa is used in the brain?

[mcdonnellpadraic]

So, when you are in “Ketosis” you actually still need insulin and glucose to ensure there is not a run away effect producing loads of ketones???

[JamesKetovore]

The brain is not predominantly a glucose metabolisers. This is incorrect.
