Talk:Ketogenesis

message: :The three ketone bodies are acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetone. (The first two are not technically ketones according to IUPAC nomenclature, but the third is.)
I see how beta-hydroxybutyrate isn't a true ketone because it lacks a ketone functional group, but it certainly seems that carbon three of acetoacetate forms part of a ketone functional group. I've updated the page pending further discussion. Also, according to ketone bodies, acetoacetate is a true ketone body. --David Iberri (talk) 22:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  HMG-CoA error

message: I really need the reference for the statement that the ketegonesis is initiated "if the amounts of acetyl-CoA generated in fatty-acid β-oxidation challenge the processing capacity of the TCA cycle or if activity in the TCA cycle is low due to low amounts of intermediates such as oxaloacetate" - does anyone know where I can find this? i tried all the references listed without luck.
I would really much appreciate it!

message: In "types of ketone bodies" it states, "each of these compounds is synthesized from acetyl CoA", yet at the intro it says "fatty acid breakdown". How about just say acetyl CoA -> ketone, is ketogenesis? 129.180.166.53 (talk) 03:39, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The section 
“Insufficient gluconeogenesis can cause hypoglycemia and excessive production of ketone bodies, ultimately leading to a life-threatening condition known as ketoacidosis.[3]”
Is incorrect 
Life threatening Ketoacidosis is a diabetic’s condition when they have excessive sugar AND excessive ketones in the blood Eismarsh 01:48, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

message: ... but the assertion that a low amount of carbohydrates is an insufficiency isn't supported by any citation. Maybe this should be changed into 'carbohydrate absence' or 'absence of carbohydrates'? Thanks.Wikiario~enwiki (talk) 06:26, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
