Synopsis
Excerpt from Ketosis in Domestic Animals: Clinical and Experimental Observations
Chemistry. That the chief source of ketone bodies is fat seems to be well established.47 It is much less certain, however, just how these substances are produced from fat in the liver. Oxidation of fat in viva apparently begins with hydrolysis of the fat molecule to glycerol and fatty acid. Then further oxidation of these components occurs. Glycerol, which represents about 10 percent of the fat mole cule, like glucose, probably gives rise to glycogen in the liver.7 Bio chemists have found great difficulty in following the changes that occur during oxidation of the fatty acid fraction. A theory presented by Knoop in 1904, however, provides a clue to a fundamental reaction which may take place during intermediate fat metabolism. Kn00p's theory is that in each step in the breakdown of fatty acids that contain an even number of carbon atoms (those present in natural fats) oxidation occurs at the carbon atom in the Beta-position to the carboxyl group. By this process two carbon atoms are Split off in each step until the 4-carbon atom stage is reached. At this stage, acetoacetic acid is one of the products. This acid is then converted to acetic acid, which undergoes further changes to carbon dioxide and water.

Ketosis in Domestic Animals: Clinical and Experimental Observations
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and pathology of ketosis, a metabolic disorder that affects domestic ruminants, including cows, sheep, and goats. Beginning with early observations of the disease in the 19th century, the author traces the evolution of its understanding, from descriptions of nervous symptoms to the discovery of elevated ketone bodies in the blood and urine. The book delves into the etiology of ketosis, discussing the role of carbohydrate deficiency as a primary cause and examining other contributing factors such as diet, liver function, and hormonal imbalances. It also explores the clinical manifestations of ketosis, including hypoglycemia, loss of appetite, and impaired milk production, and emphasizes the economic significance of the disease to the dairy and beef industries. The author synthesizes the latest research on the pathophysiology of ketosis, highlighting the complex interactions between metabolism, energy demands, and liver function. By providing a comprehensive overview of ketosis, this book serves as an invaluable resource for veterinarians, animal scientists, and anyone interested in the health and well-being of ruminants. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
