Keto was all the rage... until it wasn't. If you haven't heard of keto, welcome to the diet that promotes the consumption of ground beef, olive oil and lots of cheese... sounds like a dream, right? Maybe not. Join Michael Aranda for a...

Everything is made of chemicals, including the human body, but there are some especially weird ones

The keto diet is a high fat, low carb diet that proponents say is not just great for losing weight, but is good for your brain health, too. Does the science behind the diet back those claims up? We delve into the origin of the keto diet...

You know what starvation is, but do you know what it does to you? Hank walks you through the three major metabolic phases of starvation, from burning sugars to, basically, self-cannibalism.

Thomas Seyfried, a professor of biology at Boston College, explains that cancer is increasingly prevalent, with over 600,000 people dying annually in the U.S. Traditionally viewed as a genetic disease, Seyfried argues that cancer is...

In this video I discuss the ketogenic diet, what is ketosis and how is it different from ketoacidosis. I also talk about how the ketogenic diet affects brain metabolism and how this improves schizophrenia.

This may surprise you, but the ketogenic diet was not originally intended to trim your waist or help you get shredded. Rather, the keto diet was created over a hundred years ago as a way to treat...epilepsy. That's right, this fad diet...

Diabetic Ketoacidosis or DKA is a medical emergency that I never take lightly. This real-life clinical case is about a young female with type I diabetes who presented to us with classical symptoms. We were able to treat her successfully...

Ketone Body Biosynthesis

Ketone Body Introduction (Qualitative)

Ketone Body Catabolism

This video is part of a series in which we do an overview of metabolism and pathways. Specifically, this video covers pathways associated with the citric acid [Krebs] cycle, the fates of Acetyl-CoA, and some important anaplerotic reactions.

In this video, we will discuss the catabolic pathways for the three principle ketone bodies: β-hydroxybutyrate, Acetoacetate, & Acetone<br/>

This video explains how the liver manufactures the three ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone). We will explore the biosynthetic pathway here.<br/>

Acetone Catabolism

Lesson on Ketone Body Synthesis (Ketogenesis): In-Depth, step-by-step pathway analysis of the formation of ketones, and regulation of the enzymes involved.



Hey everyone! This lesson is on ketone body synthesis, how ketone...
