Is it true or false that ketone bodies are products of fat catabolism?
True. Ketone bodies are produced during the catabolism of fatty acids, particularly when carbohydrate availability is low, such as during fasting or prolonged exercise. The liver converts fatty acids into ketone bodies, which can then be used as an alternative energy source by various tissues, including the brain.

Can ketones be formed from fatty acids?
