Ketolysis
What it is
Ketolysis is the use of ketone bodies through conversion into substrates for energy metabolism.
What it does
It is distinct from the liver's production of ketone bodies.
Research context and ingredient forms
A circulating ketone measurement does not directly measure how rapidly a particular tissue uses ketones.
Using this information
For a claim about ketone fuel, look for tissue-specific measurements and relevant human outcomes rather than assuming that a higher level is always better.
