Expert Solution
Step 1

Ketone bodies: 

The liver produces ketone bodies in a variety of caloric-restrictive conditions, including hunger, carbohydrate-restrictive diets, extended strenuous exercise, alcoholism, and untreated (or insufficiently treated) type 1 diabetes mellitus. By breaking down fatty acids, liver cells create ketone bodies. When the liver's glycogen reserves are exhausted, they are discharged into the blood. (During the first 24 hours of fasting, glycogen levels are frequently depleted.)

 

During times of food restriction, glial cells also produce ketone bodies to support memory formation.
