Q

Importance of ketogenesis

A
  1. Of great importance during starvation when fat represents the main source of
    energy
  2. KB can be oxidized easier than FA during fasting
  3. Brain adapts for FA oxidation 5 to 6 days from starvation
  4. So ketogenesis represents a preparatory step performed by the liver for
    complete oxidation of FA
