Abstract
Abstract. In six normal persons reduced physical activity during the day did not influence the rise in blood ketone bodies during the evening, which was previously found in normal persons with normal physical activity. This rise, therefore, does not seem to be due to post‐exercise ketosis. During the evening free fatty acids (FFA) and glycerol in serum varied in principle in the same way as did the blood ketone bodies. The rise in blood ketone bodies can therefore be assumed to be due to an increased rate of formation of ketone bodies as a consequence of increased mobilization of FFA from adipose tissue. There was no evidence of a rise in serum growth hormone as trigger mechanism for the rise in blood ketone bodies. The rise in ketone body concentration was completely prevented by constant glucose infusion.
