How is type 1 diabetes mellitus similar to starvation?
both have fatty acid breakdown, triaclyglycerol mobilisation, beta oxidation, high acetyl co-A production and high ketone body formation.
Products of the incomplete breakdown of fat when carbohydrates are not available are called?
Ketone bodies. When carbohydrates are not available for energy production, the incomplete breakdown of fat results in the formation of ketone bodies, such as acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone. These molecules can be used by the body as an alternative source of energy, particularly for the brain during times of low carbohydrate availability.
Is Acetoacetate a ketone body?
Yes, acetoacetate is a ketone body produced as a byproduct of fatty acid metabolism. It is one of the three main ketone bodies, along with beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetone, that are used as alternative sources of energy when glucose availability is low, such as during fasting or ketogenic diets.
What type of cancer does not form a lump in the body?
Leukemia is a type of cancer that involves the blood and the bone marrow. It does not cause the formation of tumors or lumps in the body.
What body part was most likely to cause death if amputated?
logically - head
How does lipids uses the body?
to store energy fuel, insulate body tissues, cushion and protect organs, produce ketone bodies
A feature of ketosis is?
Ketosis is the state of having elevated ketone bodies in the blood stream. Ketone bodies are formed by ketogenesis when liver glycogen stores are depleted. Ketone bodies are acidic, and prolonged exposure can overrun the compensatory mechanisms resulting in ketoacidosis ( pH under 7.35). Most commonly, ketoacidosis is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), resulting from increased fat metabolism due to a shortage of insulin. It is associated primarily with type I diabetes, and may result in a diabetic coma if left untreated. In alcoholic ketoacidosis, alcohol causes dehydration and blocks the first step of gluconeogenesis. The body is unable to synthesize enough glucose to meet its needs, thus creating an energy crisis resulting in fatty acid metabolism, and ketone body formation.
What does overdose do to the body?
It would cause the body liver damage, brain damage, or most likely death. It depends on how much the body intakes, and of what.
What happens when the body uses fat for fuel without the help of carbohydrates?
The result is the production of ketone bodies
Process When the body uses fat for fuel without help of carbohydrate?
This is the process by which ketone bodies are produced.
Blockage of the lymphatic vessels draining a region of the body is most likely to cause?
Edema
What minimum amount of body water loss is likely to cause a person to collapse?
