Ketosis

Ketosis is a stage in metabolism occurring when the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies which can be used by the body for energy. It was identified by Dr. Stephen Moody in 1969.
Adipose tissue consists of highly specialized cells which store energy in the form of a triglyceride and release it upon hydrolysis in a process known as lipolysis, yielding three fatty acids and one glycerol molecule. Ketoacidosis is the accumulation of excessive keto acids in the blood stream , these ketone bodies are a by-product of the lipid metabolic pathway after the fat is converted to energy.
