Ketogenesis (With Diagram) | Biochemistry
The below mentioned article provides a note on the process of ketogeneis, explained with the help of a suitable diagram. In vertebrates, the acetyl-coenzyme A originating from the β-oxidation can leave the mitochondrion in the form of citrate. However a notable part of this acetyl-coA is used for the synthesis of ketone substances: acetoacetic acid, β-hydroxy-butyric acid and acetone. This [...]
