Adenovirus-induced hyperleptinemia rapidly depletes body fat in normal rats without increasing free fatty acids and ketogenesis, implying that fat-storing adipocytes are oxidizing the fat.
In the Ketogenesis process, incomplete fat oxidation stimulates the liver to convert acetyl CoA into Ketone bodies, Acetoacetic Acid, beta-hydroxybutyric acid and acetone.
Typical effects are increased insulin secretion, resulting in increased gluconeogenesis and suppression of ketogenesis from fat stores.
