Exploring Endogenous Ketone Production and Insulin's Role
The body produces beta-hydroxybutyrate through ketogenesis in the liver, which is hindered by increased insulin levels triggered by high glucose levels. Ketone production occurs when glucose levels are low, achieved through a keto diet or fasting, leading to low insulin levels. Monitoring insulin levels is crucial as insulin, not glucose, inhibits ketogenesis. It is suggested that measuring insulin could be a more accurate indicator of successful ketone production, but certain diseases, metabolic dysfunctions, or medications can affect insulin levels and ketogenesis independently of blood sugar levels.
