Production Of Acetyl CoA From Fatty Acids. Ketone Body Synthesis and Utilization.

Title:	Production Of Acetyl CoA From Fatty Acids. Ketone Body Synthesis and Utilization.
Description:	Fatty acids represent the principal form of stored energy in humans. These long chain carbon-containing molecules are broken down primarily to acetyl-CoA via a process known as ß-oxidation. Ketone bodies are primarily synthesized in the liver from fatty acids stores and serve as a significant source of fuel and energy for certain tissues, including the brain under conditions of glucose deficit.
