Usage: technical; biochemistry

Examples

• During prolonged fasting, ketogeneses occur in the liver to provide an alternative fuel source for the brain.
• The study examined multiple ketogeneses pathways in different metabolic states.
• Ketogeneses is accelerated when carbohydrate intake is severely limited.
• Researchers measured ketogeneses rates in subjects following a ketogenic diet.
• The regulation of ketogeneses involves several hormonal mechanisms, including glucagon and cortisol.
