Regulation of synthesis of ketone bodies is done by: (A) Beta hydroxyl beta methyl glutaryl CoA synthase, (B) Beta hydroxybutyrate, (C) Acetyl CoA, (D) None of the above
Answer is A. 3 molecules of acetyl CoA are condensed to form β-hydroxy β-methyl glutaryl CoA (HMG CoA). HMG CoA synthase, catalyses this reaction, thus regulates the synthesis of Ketone bodies.
