Ketone bodies pathway

An editable high resolution scientific image depicting Ketone bodies pathway

Description

This template compares ketogenesis in liver mitochondria with ketolysis in extrahepatic tissue such as the brain and heart. On the left, fatty acids are converted through acetyl CoA and HMG CoA into acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate, while on the right these ketone bodies are converted back to acetyl CoA and fed into the TCA cycle, with acetone and BHB shown moving through the bloodstream between the two compartments.
