I Love Steno Trivia Tuesday
Medical Monday: Ketosis
Ketosis is “excessive formation or secretion of ketones in the body, as in acidosis, diabetes, etc.” Ketones are acids that are built up when the body doesn’t have enough glucose to create energy, so it burns stored fats instead.
MACHINE BRIEFS:
OPTION #1: ketosis= KAOE/ TO*EZ
OPTION #2: ketosis= KAOE/ TOE/S*IS
