The reaction : succinyl Co A +acetoacetate and acetoacetyl Co A + succinate occurs in all of the following except ? 
Select and explain. 
A. Brain, B. Striated muscle, C. Liver, D. Cardiac muscle
C: Liver
Answer: C: Liver 
Explanation: Thiophorase (acetoacetate – succinyl CO A, Co A transferase) is the enzyme responsible for transfer of Co A to acetoacetate converting it into acetoacetyl Co A which is responsible for utilization of ketone bodies.
Liver cells do not have enzyme thiophorase and so they can not utilize ketone bodies
