Ketones are an potent source of fuel for your brain neurons, and when you're ketogenic, you have higher levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor and an enormous upregulation in brain neuron regeneration, focus and mental acuity (once you get over the «hump» of those first 10 - 14 days of making the fuel switch to using strictly fatty acids as your primary energy sources).

In a nutshell, ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body has shifted from using glucose as the primary fuel source into supplying its energy demands with ketone bodies.

When you get keto - adapted, your blood ketones will likely drop as well because you will be using them for fuel rather then keeping them in the blood stream: The Ketone Craze - Who Really Benefits From High Ketone Levels?

A ketogenic diet is known for being a high - fat low - carb diet, where ketone bodies are produced in the liver and used as a fuel source.

The medium - chain triglycerides in MCT Oil produce ketone bodies that fuel your brain and burn more fat, unlike long - chain triglycerides that are more difficult for the body to access and use, and are more likely to be stored as body fat.

If glucose levels drop too much, the liver synthesizes ketone bodies as a sort of back up fuel source for use by other organs (4).

However, if you keep on with a high fat low carb diet your body learns to convert fatty acids into ketones, over a few weeks, and use this as fuel instead of glucose.

Human brains, unique amongst animals, can use ketones as a major fuel source during prolonged starvation, allowing the conservation of protein such as skeletal muscle.

The shortest length fats of MCT oil are converted into ketones that are immediately used as fuel for your brain, and MCT oil also helps you burn body fat while you sleep.

This is a sign their body has adapted to using ketones and is not reliant on sugar as its primary fuel source so the body is no longer concerned with keeping blood sugar levels up in order to survive.

The brain, red blood cells, and nerve cells prefer glucose as primary fuel (but don't absolutely require it — they can use ketones).

MCTs upon consumption are rapidly converted into ketone bodies by the liver and can be readily used as fuel by every cell in your body including the cells in your brain.

When blood glucose goes down, the body turns to ketones such as BHB as a form of energy the body uses to fuel the muscles, organs and brain (2).

-LSB-...] With a shorter chain length than fatty acids, they take a much «quicker» pathway (think of it as a shortcut) when they're metabolized, which allows them to be converted to ketones and used for fuel, rather than being stored as fat (8).

Blood tests are the most accurate gauge of blood ketone levels (which is what matters), and dumping fuel into the urine isn't a great use of resources, even glucose only gets dumped in pathological states, as the glucose challenge in the fasted state demonstrates.

Ketones are molecules that build up when the body needs to break down fats and fatty acids to use as fuel.

Your liver then immediately releases the ketones into your bloodstream where they are transported to your brain to be readily used as fuel.

Ketosis is a metabolic state in which your body has shifted from burning glucose as its primary fuel source into using ketone bodies to do so.

These changes suggest that there is a shift from the use of glucose to the use of ketones and free fatty acids as metabolic fuels, and that glycogen formation increases from baseline.

Ketones, or «ketone bodies,» are compounds produced by the body as an alternate energy source when glucose (blood sugar) is unavailable to use for fuel (2).

kicks cell metabolism from processing sugar to glucose to generating ketones and using fat as a cellular fuel..

Ketone bodies flow from the liver to extra-hepatic tissues (e.g., brain) for use as a fuel; this spares glucose metabolism via a mechanism similar to the sparing of glucose by oxidation of fatty acids as an alternative fuel.
