Beta hydroxybutyrate

Ketone Body-Energetics → Each Acetyl CoA Produces 10 ATP → Conversion of Acetoacetate to Acetoacetyl CoA leads to Loss of an ATP Production Step in TCA Cycle → Conversion of Beta Hydroxy Butyrate to Acetoacetate generate 1 Mol of NADPH+H Acetoacetate = (2 X 10)- 1 ATP = 19 ATP Beta OH Butyrate = (2
