Ketogenesis

The three ketone bodies (acetoacetate, acetone, and beta-hydroxybutyrate) are marked as orange boxes
Ketogenesis is a process when fats and ketogenic amino acids are changed into ketones. It serves as a energy supplier in cases of ketosis. Somes cells cannot metabolize ketones or metabolize it very well, so glucose is either released or made from the liver.
