| Feb 2, 2017 at 8:23 | comment | added | LuRsT | My question comes from learning about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caprylic_acid which apparently increases ketone bodies in your body even if you aren't in one of those states @BryanKrause | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 17:14 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | Exactly - it is only during those special cases that ketones are even available for metabolism, and the reason ketones are made available is a drop in blood glucose below sufficient levels. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 16:49 | comment | added | LuRsT | "The brain gets a portion of its fuel requirements from ketone bodies when glucose is less available than normal (e.g., during fasting, strenuous exercise, low carbohydrate, ketogenic diet and in neonates)" from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies @BryanKrause | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 16:46 | comment | added | LuRsT | By preferred, I mean, given the choice for either, which one would it use first @BryanKrause | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 16:45 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | Can you explain what you mean by "preferred"? The brain mostly metabolizes glucose only. | |
