Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dihydroxyacetone is not considered a ketone body. Ketone bodies include acetoacetate, 3-hydroxybutyrate (beta-hydroxybutyrate), and acetone, which are produced in the liver from fatty acids during periods of low food intake, carbohydrate restrictive diets, starvation, prolonged intense exercise, or in untreated type 1 diabetes mellitus. Dihydroxyacetone, however, is an intermediate in glycolysis and is not classified as a ketone body.
