Instead of being fueled by sugar, as it usually is, it begins to metabolize fat-derived molecules called ketone bodies, hence the term ketogenic diet.

由脂肪转变而来分子—酮体，取代了糖，开始为大新陈代谢功。因此术语称之为生酮饮食。

Examining the channels in mouse brains, the researchers infused brain slices with ketone bodies, chemicals produced by the lier when the body is on the ketogenic diet.

在进行道研究中，研究者们用机体在生酮膳食时肝脏产生化合物――酮体来浸泡片。
