Question
Chapter 23, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A reasonable mechanism for HMG-CoA synthase reaction should be written.
Concept Introduction:
Acetyl CoA produced by ß oxidation of fatty acids undergoes further oxidation in the TCA cycle. Some of this acetyl CoA is converted into three metabolites; acetone, acetoacetate and ß hydroxybutyrate. Process of formation of these metabolites is known as ketogenesis. Although ß hydroxybutyrate does not have a
