cellular ketone metabolic process
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The chemical reactions and pathways involving any of a class of organic compounds that contain the carbonyl group, CO, and in which the carbonyl group is bonded only to carbon atoms, as carried out by individual cells. The general formula for a ketone is RCOR, where R and R are alkyl or aryl groups. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0787650153]
Cellular ketone metabolic process involves the production, utilization, and regulation of ketone bodies, which are water-soluble molecules produced by the liver from fatty acids during periods of prolonged fasting or low carbohydrate intake. Ketone bodies, including acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone, serve as an alternative energy source for tissues like the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle, particularly when glucose availability is limited. The process begins with the breakdown of fatty acids through beta-oxidation in the liver, generating acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is then converted into ketone bodies through a series of enzymatic reactions involving the enzymes HMG-CoA synthase and HMG-CoA lyase. Ketone bodies are released into the bloodstream and transported to peripheral tissues, where they are taken up and converted back to acetyl-CoA for energy production through the process of ketogenesis. This process is tightly regulated by hormones like insulin and glucagon, ensuring adequate energy supply during periods of metabolic stress. Cellular ketone metabolic process plays a crucial role in maintaining energy homeostasis during fasting, exercise, or other conditions that require alternative energy sources.'

|---|---|---|---|
| bupropion | bupropion : An aromatic ketone that is propiophenone carrying a tert-butylamino group at position 2 and a chloro substituent at position 3 on the phenyl ring.
