The Biosynthesis of Ketone Bodies | Pathway & Explanation

The video discusses the biosynthesis of ketone bodies in the liver, particularly during fasting states when glucose is scarce. It explains the conversion of fatty acids to acetyl-CoA and the subsequent formation of ketone bodies like acetoacetate, acetone, and beta-hydroxybutyrate. The video also covers the metabolic pathways of HMG-CoA in different states and introduces the catabolism of ketone bodies, highlighting the liver's role in production but not utilization.
