Ketone Body Synthesis | Ketogenesis | Formation Pathway and Regulation

The video tutorial covers ketone body synthesis, also known as ketogenesis. It explains the molecular pathway of ketone body production, primarily in liver hepatocytes, and their role as an energy source during fasting, especially for the brain. The tutorial details the enzymatic steps involved, highlighting the importance of acetyl CoA and the regulation by hormones like glucagon and insulin. It also discusses the utilization of ketone bodies, such as beta hydroxybutyrate, and their export from the liver to other tissues.
