Alright, and we’re back! So our story so far has covered what ketone bodies are and
how they are formed, and some of the ways we can turn our bodies into ketone
body creating machines. This
article will look further at some ways the creation of ketone bodies is
regulated. As I did with the last article
I will put out the “lots of science” disclaimer on this article. This one will be more technical than
the last one was, it is just the nature of the beast when you are talking about
some of these complex biochemical pathways.
I know that all the weird letters and numbers that represent
proteins in our body don’t really mean much to most people, but remember they
are really just designations for various receptors our body uses to recognize
each specific chemical in our body.
It is important to remember that things in our body usually can’t just
go in and out cells and tissues as they please. Few things in our body just happen. They are all controlled by various
receptors and proteins that help to move them. So, while I will be presenting the actual biochemistry here,
I hope I can bring each section home at the end and give everyone a take home
message that will be meaningful.
