Which of the following situations will result in a buildup of ketones in the blood?
A
High protein diet with adequate carbohydrates
B
Prolonged fasting or starvation
C
Increased insulin secretion
D
Excessive carbohydrate intake
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that ketones are produced when the body breaks down fats for energy, which typically occurs when carbohydrate intake is low.
Recognize that during prolonged fasting or starvation, the body depletes its glycogen stores and begins to use fat as the primary energy source, leading to ketone production.
Consider that a high protein diet with adequate carbohydrates does not typically lead to ketone buildup because carbohydrates prevent the need for fat breakdown.
Acknowledge that increased insulin secretion usually promotes glucose uptake and storage, reducing the need for fat breakdown and ketone production.
Realize that excessive carbohydrate intake provides ample glucose for energy, thus preventing the body from needing to produce ketones from fat.
