Ketosis induced by starvation or feeding a ketogenic diet has widespread and
often contradictory effects due to the simultaneous elevation of both ketone
bodies and free fatty acids. The elevation of ketone bodies increases the energy
of ATP hydrolysis by reducing the mitochondrial NAD couple and oxidizing the
coenzyme Q couple, thus increasing the redox span between site I and site II. In
contrast, metabolism of fatty acids leads to a reduction of both mitochondrial
NAD and mitochondrial coenzyme Q causing a decrease in the ?G of ATP hydrolysis.
In contrast, feeding ketone body esters leads to pure ketosis, unaccompanied by
elevation of free fatty acids, producing a physiological state not previously
seen in nature. The effects of pure ketosis on transcription and upon certain
neurodegenerative diseases make approach not only interesting, but of potential
therapeutic value.
