Ketones are substances created during the breakdown of fat in order to become energy when there is not enough sugar in the body. Ketones can be found in the blood or in the urine.
A Silver mirror does not appear as ketones cannot be further oxidized unlike aldehydes in which a silver mirror does appear.
it means you either have diabetes , or you are suffering dehydration.Ketones are formed when the body breaks down fat, so when you are starving and have not eaten enough your body starts breaking down the fat from the cells that is already stored and that is why ketones appear, they are a byproduct of this fat breaking.Ketones can also appear from uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and rarely after drinking copious and significant amounts of alcohol.The presence of abnormally high numbers of ketones in the urine (ketonuria) usually results from uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Ketonuria can also be caused by prolonged diarrhea or vomiting that results in starvation.

Ketones is one product.
Ans: Ketones
The byproducts of partial fat metabolism are called ketones. They are natural, but they do become a problem for diabetics and people who are starving, because they don't produce enough insulin. In those cases, the buildup of ketones in the blood causes a condition called ketoacidosis.
Ketones.
Yes, metabolism of fats is a reason and can cause the presence of ketones and can lower pH levels. To make it simple, ketones form from rapid or incomplete oxidation (breaking down) of fats from the liver and forms ketones. Ketones are strong acids and this is why it can cause a lowering of pH in the urine.
When Insulin level is decreased the pathways such as glycolysis, Glucogenolysis, fatty acid synthesis decreases as a result glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis, fatty acid lysis, acetyl coA is diverted to form ketone bodies , ketogenic amino acids stored as proteins will form ketones by this ketone bodies increases in blood .. this happens even in high starvation, in DM also.
Do you mean ketones? Ketones are a by-product of fat breakdown. When a person is not eating enough carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice, potatos) for their energy needs the body starts using its fat stores for energy and ketones show in the urine. It may also be a sign of diabetes. If I haven't answered the question you asked please ask as something different.
