酮体

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.

由脂肪转变而来的分子—酮体，取代了常的糖，开始为大脑的新陈代谢功能。因此术语称之为生酮饮。

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.
