One more question . . . As per Michael Eades, even under strict ketogenic conditions, ketone bodies only replace about half the glucose requirements for those cells that require glucose but can also use ketone bodies, leaving about 70-80 grams of glucose/day supplied by gluconeogenesis. If ketone bodies ingbit glycolitic enzymes, do they prevent the glycolysis in normal cells that use glucose even under ketogenic conditions?
