Ketosis is due to

  1. High insulin level

  2. Low insulin level

  3. Low thyroxine level

  4. Low level of glucagon
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When the body has low levels of insulin it cannot get enough glucose into cells for energy requirements. So the body uses alternate energy by burning body fat. Ketone bodies are byproducts in the metabolism of fat. During starvation or fasting conditions the liver synthesizes glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from fat. During gluconeogenesis, the ketone bodies are formed as byproducts where the product is glucose. The accumulation of ketone bodies in tissues are called as ketosis. Hence ketosis is due to Low insulin levels.

So, the correct answer is 'Low insulin levels'.
