Hailey Daigle Week 3 Case Study 1. Identify 2 potential causes of ketonuria. - Fasting diets and strenuous exercise 2. Identify the nutrient involved in the formation of ketones. - Lipids are the nutrients involved in the formation of ketones. 3. Describe the process of lipolysis and formation of ketones. - To obtain energy from fat, triglycerides must first be broken down by hydrolysis into fatty acids and glycerol. This process is called lipolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm. The process of the formation of ketones is called ketogenesis. 4. Is the process in Q3, anabolic or catabolic? - It is catabolic because it is breaking down lipids. 5. Predict the effect of excess ketones on the blood pH. - Metabolic ketoacidosis occurs when our blood pH drops because of the presence of ketones in our blood. References Lumen Learning.
