	Ketosis - High Levels of Ketones in Blood
		Ketosis is the presence in the blood of abnormally high levels of acidic substances called ketones.
		Ketosis is caused when the body metabolizes body fat for energy purposes, instead of the usual glucose-from-carbohydrates.
		Ketosis is a typical effect of a low carb diet - a "ketogenic diet" - and is sometimes referred to as dietary ketosis, or physiologic ketosis.

	Ketosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ketosis (keh-toe-sis) is a stage in metabolism occurring when the liver has been depleted of stored glycogen and switches to a fasting mode such as occurs during sleep, during dieting, and during the body's response to starvation.
		Ketosis, which is one of the body's processes for the metabolism of body fat, should not be confused with ketoacidosis (severe ketosis which causes the blood to become acidic), a medical condition induced by diabetes, that is usually accompanied by dehydration, hyperglycemia, and insulin deficiency.
		Breath acetone is a reliable indicator of ketosis in adults consuming ketogenic meals, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

	Ketosis
		Ketosis on liquid protein diets - low-fat, high-protein diets - caused deaths from heart failure because protein from the heart muscle was used for blood sugar.
		Ketosis masks appetite in the sense that I don't crave food.
		It is well established that ketosis is part of the normal metabolism, and that ketones can supply up to 90% of energy, with the brain fulfilling about 2/3 rds of its energy requirement with ketones and the rest with glucose (Barnes RH et al, J Biol Chem, 1939;131:413-23).

	Ketosis
		Ketosis is a word that gets bandied about a lot, indiscriminately in my view, and it is incorrectly cited to be the primary cause of a number of ailments.
		While under some circumstances during pregnancy or lactation a ketosis can develop as a 'secondary condition', it is neither limited to pregnancy nor to lactation, and can show up at any stage in the life of a goat.
		I cannot agree that liver failure should be considered the actual 'cause' of death, but rather the 'result' of the animal's not having received a proper diagnosis and treatment for the actual combination of the primary cause, hypocalcemia, and the secondary cause, ketosis, because of which she dies.

	Acetonaemia (ketosis) of dairy cows
		Ketosis also occurs in other animals and the problem is known by various names, eg, pregnancy toxaemia in ewes.
		Primary ketosis, as described, occurs when high producing cows simply cannot eat enough carbohydrate to satisfy their glucose needs, or where the feed available is somewhat deficient in carbohydrate.
		Secondary ketosis must be suspected where there is a lack of response to treatment, or where the signs seen are not typical of primary ketosis.

		Ketosis is a process in which your body converts fats into energy.
		Prolonged ketosis can be dangerous as it can change the acidity of your blood beyond the level that your body can tolerate.
		Because long periods of ketosis are dangerous to your kidneys and liver, ketogenic diets are never recommended by health professionals for more than short-term use, typically no longer than 14 days.

	Ketosis / Carboyhdrates
		Ketosis is among the most maligned and misunderstood concepts in nutrition because it is often confused with ketoacidosis, which is a life-threatening condition.
		Ketosis is a natural adjustment to the body's reduced intake of carbohydrates as the body shifts its primary source of energy from carbohydrates to stored fat.
		In a state of Ketosis I understand that the Ketones are a measurement of "fat burning" and that the natural course of action is for the body to first burn Carbohydrates and then Protein.

	Ketosis
		Ketosis, otherwise known as pregnancy toxemia, is a metabolic disease characterized by weight loss, pica (the craving to eat something unfit to eat), inappetence (lack or failure of appetite), decreased milk production, and neurologic abnormalities that usually occur during and after pregnancy (Aiello 736).
		Ketosis was quickly found to be a debilitating disease that affects and can kill a pregnant animal and her fetuses.
		Ketosis has been researched as extensively as possible because it is such a fast-working disease.

	Bodybuilding.com - Jonathan Deprospo - In Depth Look At Ketogenic Diets And Ketosis.
		The metabolic state of ketosis simply means that the quantity of ketone bodies in the blood have reached higher than normal levels.
		Ketosis has a protein sparing effect, assuming that you are consuming adequate quantities of protein and calories in the first place.
		This is where the metabolic state of ketosis comes in, because the pancreas can also start breaking down free fatty acids into a usable energy substrate, also known as ketones, or ketone bodies.

		Being in ketosis means your body has burned a large amount of fat in response to the fact that it didn't have sufficient glucose available for energy needs.
		Dietary ketosis is among the most maligned and misunderstood concepts in nutrition because it is often confused with ketoacidosis, which is a life-threatening condition most often associated with uncontrolled insulin-deficient Type 1 diabetes.
		Dietary ketosis, however, is a natural adjustment to the body's reduced intake of carbohydrates as the body shifts its primary source of energy from carbohydrates to stored fat.

	“Benign Dietary Ketosis” is the way to break through this high-insulin pattern and cause your body to burn more fat.
		Ketosis (as opposed to diabetic ketoacidosis) is a depletion of the body's glycogen stores.
		Ketosis is not a necessary condition for fat mobilization but rather the result of the low-insulin state that occurs when the diet is low in carbohydrate.
		Ketosis can initially cause increased weight loss but this is most likely due to water loss.

		Ketosis is a state of rapid fat burning that occurs when your body is deprived of carbohydrates.
		When this wonderful process begins it is said that a person is "in ketosis." Ketone bodies circulate in the blood and are excreted from the body through the urine.
		So you want to be in ketosis because it is natural state in which your body breaks down body fat very quickly and rapidly.

	KETOSIS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Ketosis is a futile attempt to create more sugar, is quite severe, and can cause death.
		Therefore, popular high-protein diets produce ketosis because the only source of sugar on those diets is from the liver using ketones, derived from fat tissue, to synthesize “new” sugar.
		Ketosis may directly suppress appetite and is conjectured to be the reason why high-protein, or “ketogenic,” diets work over the long haul.

	Ketosis
		Ketosis should be mentioned briefly since it is occasionally a nutritional problem.
		Fat is used for energy continuously to some extent, but when there is a shortage of carbohydrate, fat is needed for this purpose in increased amounts.
		Diagnosis of ketosis is relatively easy as simple tests are available for measurement of ketone bodies in urine and in blood.

		They point out that dietary ketosis should not be confused with ketoacidosis, which is a life-threatening condition associated with untreated Type 1 Diabetes, caused by a lack of insulin.
		Ketosis producing diets concerns are likely to revolve around the health risks associated with lack of vitamins and minerals caused by insufficient carbohydrates.
		Ketosis can be diagnosed by a urine test, and confirmed with a blood test, which can also measure the blood acidity.

	Low Carb Luxury: Looking for Purple - Ketostix
		The Ketosis we're talking about here is what Dr. Atkins refers to as "Benign Dietary Ketosis" (or BDK), and should never be confused with Acidosis — a dangerous state for diabetics and those in advanced starvation where acetone builds in the blood and tissues.
		They're confusing ketosis (the state from a Ketogenic diet) with ketoacidosis (or acidosis) which occurs in uncontrolled diabetes and/or starvation.
		So being in ketosis simply means that you're burning your fat stores and using them as the source of fuel they were meant to be.
