Definition:Those metabolic reactions involved in the synthesis of acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate, also known as ketone bodies, although only acetoacetate is a ketone. Generally, the acetyl-CoA derived from fatty acid oxidation enters the citrate cycle. In the liver, a substantial fraction of acetyl-CoA is converted to ketone bodies which are then released into the bloodstream to supply peripheral tissues.
Synonyms:related_synonym: Synthesis of Ketone Bodies;   ketone biosynthetic process
