Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetone breath is a feature of ketosis, which is a metabolic state in which the body switches from using glucose as its primary fuel source to ketones. This leads to the production of acetone, which can cause breath to smell fruity or like nail polish remover. Higher blood pH (A) is actually associated with alkalosis and decreased blood acidity. Increased appetite (C) is not a feature of ketosis, as the body is using stored fat for energy and may actually experience decreased appetite. Increased glycolysis (D) is not a feature of ketosis, as the body is not relying on glucose for fuel. Synthesis of body protein (E) may actually decrease during ketosis, as the body may break down proteins into amino acids to use for fuel.
