What substance in urine creates ketonuria?
Ketonuria is an abnormal condition in which ketone bodies are excreted in the urine. Ketone bodies are partially metabolized fatty acids, which are created when the body is trying to break down stored fats for energy. The liver can only metabolize a certain amount of fat at any given time, with the rate-limiting step being converting ketone bodies into carbohydrates.
What happens to excess fat in the body?
When the diet provides the body with more calories than it needs for general maintenance and its current level of physical activity, this excess energy is stored in the form of body fat. Fat acts as a food reserve and as padding and protection. The fat in the abdomen helps to protect the organs under it.
