Ketone bodies, produced by the body to provide fuel during fasting, have roles in regulating cellular processes and aging mechanisms beyond energy production. Research at the Buck Institute shows ...

Ketogenesis involves the synthesis of ketone bodies, such as acetone, β-hydroxybutyrate, and acetoacetate, which serve as an alternative fuel source for cells. KDs have been extensively explored ...

Aromatic ketones have long been valuable intermediates in chemical synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions where different chemical entities are combined to form new compounds.

According to the study, when T cells — the soldiers of the immune system — absorb ketone bodies, their function improves by reprogramming them to fight threats to the body better. Authors of ...

However, the synthesis of certain liver proteins increases ... can adapt to low-glucose environments by converting their energy source to ketone bodies. During this form of metabolism, cancerous ...

Ketone bodies are not just about energy. These metabolites are powerful signaling molecules that have profound effects on the proteome and protein quality control in the brain. Scientists ...
