Ketosis
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Ketosis is a metabolic state where energy is derived from ketone bodies rather than glucose. The primary ketone bodies use for energy are acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate.
The body can enter ketosis through fasting or a ketogenic diet.
