Explanation / Answer

10) We know that ketone body synthesis occurs due to high activity of beta oxydation in the liver. Which of the following must also occur?

B) Low citric acid cycle activity due to oxaloacetate entering gluconeogenesis.

When acetyl-CoA is not being recycled through the citric acid cycle because the citric acid cycle intermediates that is mainly oxaloacetate have been depleted to feed the gluconeogenesis pathway, then ketogenesis occurs.
