Ketosis IV: Cellular Regulation

As we have seen already the control of ketosis is controlled through a variety of mechanisms in our bodies. And, most importantly, many of these mechanisms are intricately tied to our bodies’ own energy sensing pathways. We have seen ketosis regulation at a variety of levels throughout our bodies.  It can be controlled through conscious action, by eating a high-fat diet or fasting.  It can be controlled throughout our internal environment by hormones and other signaling molecules like insulin and glucagon.  And now we will go down a bit farther even, and look at how ketosis is controlled at the cellular level.  Again this one will be a technical article, so as always if you have questions post them to comments!
