Ketone bodies serve as important precursors of brain lipids in the developing rat

Ketone bodies are readily oxidized for energy by extrahepatic tissues. Since oxidation of ketone bodies produces acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA), and hence could be an important source of immediate precursors for fatty acid synthesis, we investigated, in whole‐brain homogenates of developing rats, the pre...
