Cetosis

Definición de cetosis

La cetosis es un estado metabólico en el cual el organismo utiliza predominantemente grasas como fuente de energía en lugar de carbohidratos.

Este proceso ocurre cuando los niveles de glucosa en sangre son bajos, lo que obliga al cuerpo a descomponer las reservas de grasa para obtener energía.

La cetosis puede ser inducida mediante una dieta baja en carbohidratos o durante períodos de ayuno prolongado.
