Liver

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Ketone bodies (acetoacetate, $\beta$-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone) are produced primarily in the $Liver$ during periods of fasting, prolonged exercise, or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. When carbohydrate availability is low, the body breaks down fatty acids into acetyl-CoA. Since the citric acid cycle cannot process all the excess acetyl-CoA, the liver converts it into ketone bodies, which are then released into the bloodstream to serve as an alternative energy source for tissues like the brain and muscles.
