Expert Solution
Introduction:

When there is no glucose present in the body, it breaks down lipids and fats to utilize as energy sources. The breakdown of lipids in the liver leads to the formation of ketone bodies. This is commonly seen in diabetic ketoacidosis when there is high glucose present in the body, but cells cannot utilize it, due to less or faulty insulin. Starvation can also produce transient ketoacidosis.
