JEFF VOLEK a | Adipose to brain fuel…ketone pathway found 50 years ago!

Ketones are designed to fuel our brain
-we store fuel in adipose tissue
-brain cannot use fat in that form
-break down adipose tissue
-release fatty acids at high rate
-taken up by liver, exceeding capacity
Pathway to convert into ketones
-liver breaks into smaller molecules
-beta hydroxybutyrate
-acetoacetate
ABLE TO ENTER BRAIN AS FUEL

These ketones provide stable fuel
source for brain...
-once taken up, oxidized
-converted back to Acetyl-CoA
-generate ATP
George Cahill, Harvard studied this
pathway 50 years ago
-if consume carbs for energy
-brain depends on glucose as fuel
-needs 150g a day
Brain can extract 2/3 energy
from ketones

"This metabolic information has been
available, but not taught to healthcare
professionals"
In ketosis review, concentrations matter...
-we all produce ketones, but when
eating carbs, amount is ultra low
When restricting carbs [below 50g a day]
-ketone pathway kicks into gear
-will increase production by 10x or more
[from .1 Mmol to 1, or 3, 4...]
That is called nutritional ketosis

Nutrtional ketosis is an order
of magnitude higher than when
in carb-fed state
but
it is an order of magnitude LOWER
than ketoacidosis [dangerous]
