Definition of ketone in English English dictionary

A homologous series of organic molecules whose functional group is an oxygen atom joined to a carbon atom—by a double bond—in a carbon-hydrogen based molecule

a class of strong volatile organic solvents such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)

An organic compound that contains the bi-valent ketone groups Usually a colorless volatile liquid, such as acetone or dimethyl ketone, but may also be a crystalline solid, such as camphor

Class of organic compounds in which the carbonyl group (O=C) is attached to two carbon groups Used primarily as solvents

Blood chemical formed in the liver when the body is deprived of carbohydrates; may raise seizure threshold to help prevent seizures

An organic compound with a carbonyl group attached to two carbon atoms Usually indicates a strong, fast evaporating solvent

a chemical produced when there is a shortage of insulin in the blood and the body breaks down body fat for energy High levels of ketones can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis and coma Sometimes referred to as ketone bodies

compound with a carbonyl group located between two alkyl groups

any of a class of organic compounds having a carbonyl group linked to a carbon atom in each of two hydrocarbon radicals

A homologous series of organic molecules whose functional group is an oxygen atom joined to a carbon atom-by a double bond-in a carbon-hydrogen based molecule

{i} organic compound containing a carbonyl group (Chemistry)

acid by-product of metabolism

In general the ketones are colorless volatile liquids having a pungent ethereal odor

break down product of fat that accumulates in the blood as a result of inadequate insulin or inadequate calorie intake

A break down product of fat that accumulates in the blood as a result of inadequate insulin or inadequate calorie intake

A compound in which a C=O (carbonyl) function group is bound to two carbon atoms, such as CH3COCH3

Waste product produced when the body is using fat as an energy source Ketones are acids, and can cause damage or death to cells Excess ketones accumulate in the blood and are excreted in the urine Acetone is a ketone which can be eliminated through the lungs Ketoacidotic animals often have a chemical smell to their breath (Some nail polish removers contain acetone - it is a similar smell)

A break-down product of fat that accumulates in the blood as a result of inadequate insulin or inadequate calorie intake

A type of acid left over when your body burns some of its own fat for fuel because it can't get enough sugar (glucose) to use for energy

Any of a class of organic compounds containing a carbonyl group (CO; see functional group) bonded to two carbon atoms. Ketones can participate in many chemical reactions, though to a lesser extent than the related aldehydes. Many more complex organic compounds have ketones as building blocks. Their chief industrial use is as solvents and in the manufacture of explosives, lacquers, paints, and textiles. Acetone is the most important ketone; several sugars and some natural and synthetic steroids are ketones. In ketosis, ketones produced by lipid metabolism accumulate in the blood and urine in abnormal amounts, usually because of starvation or a metabolic disease such as diabetes mellitus

One of a class of organic compounds containing the group CO

A type of acid left over when your body burns some of its own fat for fuel because it can't get enough glucose to use for energy

A carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen and single-bonded to two chemical groups (such as methane, benzene, anything besides hydrogen) The carbon-oxygen double bond part is known as a carbonyl group (-C=O) An example is acetone,which is a carbonyl group attached to two methanes (methyl groups: -CH3)

One of a large class of organic substances resembling the aldehydes, obtained by the distillation of certain salts of organic acids and consisting of carbonyl (CO) united with two hydrocarbon radicals

ketone body

Any of several compounds that are intermediates in the metabolism of fatty acids; principally acetoacetate and acetone (together with hydroxybutyrate which is not a ketone)

ketone body

a ketone that is an intermediate product of the breakdown of fats in the body; any of three compounds (acetoacetic acid, acetone, and/or beta-hydroxybutyric acid) found in excess in blood and urine of persons with metabolic disorders

ketone body

A ketone-containing substance, such as acetoacetic acid, that is an intermediate product of fatty acid metabolism. Ketone bodies tend to accumulate in the blood and urine of individuals affected by starvation or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Also called acetone body

ketones

Acids created by the process of burning body fat; if the body produces too many ketones, they are excreted in the urine

ketones

Also known as ketone bodies, ketones are byproducts of fat metabolism

ketones

Hydrocarbons that have a carbon-oxygen (CO) pair as part of their chemical structure The oxygen is attached to the carbon by a double bond that makes ketones less stable and more reactive than an alcohols

ketones

Organic compounds with two hydrocarbon groups bonded to a carbonyl group

ketones

by-products produced as a result of fat metabolism which occurs during periods of hyperglycemia or inadequate carbohydrate intake kinetics: 1 the study of reaction rates 2 The study of the relationship between force and mass L

ketones

Chemicals that the body makes when there is not enough insulin in the blood and it must break down fat for its energy Ketone bodies can poison and even kill body cells When the body does not have the help of insulin, the ketones build up in the blood and then "spill" over into the urine so that the body can get rid of them The body can also rid itself of one type of ketone, called acetone, through the lungs This gives the breath a fruity odor Ketones that build up in the body for a long time lead to serious illness and coma See also: Diabetic ketoacidosis

ketones

bi-product of tissue use for energy; large amounts are toxic to brain function
