Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ketone bodies are synthesized in the liver from free fatty acids and can be used as an immediate source of energy by many organs, including the brain, during periods of fasting or low carbohydrate intake. Glycerols are not liver synthesized derivatives of free fatty acids, but rather a molecule derived from the breakdown of triglycerides. Steroids and cholesterol are not used as an immediate source of energy.
