What Is the buildup of keto acids that can result from diabetes mellitus?

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a dangerous consequence of type 1 Diabetes and, to a lesser extent, type 2 diabetes. When blood sugar levels are extremely high, acidic molecules called ketones build up to deadly quantities in your body, causing DKA.
DKA occurs when human body does not have enough insulin to convert blood sugar into energy. If this occurs, liver begins to convert fat into energy, releasing ketones into the bloodstream. Ketone high levels in the blood are extremely dangerous.
Because insulin levels don't normally dip so low in people with type 2 diabetes, it's less common, although it can happen. Because persons with type 1 diabetes can't generate their own insulin, DKA could be the earliest sign of the disease.

What are some of the causes of metabolic acidosis?
-Ketoacidosis, a buildup of keto acids that can result from diabetes mellitus. -Salicylate poisoning, a toxic condition resulting from ingestion of too much aspirin or oil of wintergreen (a substance often found in laboratories) - The ingestion of too much alcohol, which metabolizes to acetic acid -Diarrhea, which results in the loss of bicarbonate with the elimination of intestinal contents - Strenuous exercise, which may cause a buildup of lactic acid from anaerobic muscle metabolism
How does Diabetes Mellitus complicate into Diabetes Ketoacidosis?
diabetes ketoacidocis (DKA) results from relative or absolute insulin deficiency combined with counter regulatory hormone excess (glucagon, catecholamines, cortisol, and growth hormone). Both insulin deficiency and glucagon excess, in particular, are necessary for DKA to develop. The decreased ratio of insulin to glucagon promotes gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and ketone body formation in the liver, as well as increases in substrate delivery from fat and muscle (free fatty acids, amino acids) to the liver.
Is there a link between diabetes and increased levels of creatinine in the blood?
Diabetes mellitus has adverse effects on many body systems - the cardiovascular system, the neurological system, the endocrine system (obviously) and the renal system. Over time, diabetes causes damage to the small blood vessels in the kidneys, resulting in nephrosclerosis and nephropathy, which decreases the ability of the kidneys to clear the blood of toxins, water, salts, and acids. The creatinine is a marker physicians use to measure kidney function. Because of the damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys, there is elevated BUN and creatinine.
What muscles are overworked soreness is caused by a buildup of what?
when soreness occurs, it is because of a build-up of lactic acids.
What is the result of amino acids deficiency?
death
Can phenylalanine cause diabetes?
No, phenylalanine is entirely unrelated to diabetes. Diabetes in its three forms is a metabolic disorder involving insulin, a hormone normally secreted in response to elevated blood sugars. Phenylalanine is an amino acid. Amino acids serve primarily as the building blocks of proteins, among other functions. As an amino acid, phenylalanine has no direct impact on blood sugar and thus has no impact on secretion of insulin or the need for insulin. Of course, amino acids can be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis under certain physiological conditions, however this would not contribute to the development of diabetes, as it is a highly regulated response to low blood sugar. Type II diabetes can result from chronic elevation of blood sugars.
What do you do about soreness after a work out?
Soreness is caused by a buildup of certain acids in the muscles. Drink a lot of water, and move around. This will help to flush the acid from your system.
What three known diseases are omega 3 fatty acids known to help prevent or minimize?
heart cholesterol diabetes
What are the positive result of alkaloidal reagents?
These are reagents which precipitates alkaloids.Alkaloids contain basic nitrogen so form salt by uniting with acids as, phosphomlybdic acids, tungstic acids etc.
When two amino acids are chemically joined together the result of?
There antiacids
Why is fat free dangerous?
it can result in a deficiency of essential fatty acids.
What does the hydrolysis of a neutral fat result in?
glycerol and three fatty acids
