List of Low-Carb Doctors:
http://lowcarbdoctors.blogspot.com

Acetoacetate:
The primary ketone body found in the urine.

Acetone:
The primary ketone body found in the breath.

Adrenal fatigue:
A collection of signs and symptoms that occur when the adrenal glands function below the necessary level, resulting in increased levels of stress, fatigue, and depression. People with adrenal fatigue tend to consume caffeinated beverages and products to function.

Antioxidants:
Primarily found in vitamins C and E and carotenoids, which include beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein, these help protect healthy cells from damage caused by free radicals.

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate):
The molecular form of energy used by cells.

Autoimmunity:
An atypical immune response in which the body attacks its own cells and tissues. This results in autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, and more.

Beta-hydroxybutyrate:
The primary ketone body found in the blood.

C-reactive protein (hsCRP):
A test that can detect small amounts of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation, in the blood.

Cortisol:
A hormone released in response to stress that increases blood sugar levels and suppresses the immune system, among other effects.

Cytokine:
Molecule that plays a role in the communication between cells in immune responses in the body and helps repair cells that have become damaged by inflammation, infection, and trauma.

Dyslipidemia:
Abnormal amounts of cholesterol or fat in the blood.

Epigenetics:
The changes in gene function that do not involve any changes in the DNA sequence. For example, lifestyle changes in diet can play a role in your health despite any genetic tendencies.

Fatty acids:
An important source of fuel for the body that leads to large amounts of ATP production, which the body and brain can use in place of glucose.

Gluconeogenesis:
The productions of glucose from dietary protein; it takes place primarily in the liver.

Glucose:
One of the primary energy sources when the body is a sugar-burner.

Glycogen:
Made in the cells of the liver and stored primarily in the muscles, it’s a backup energy source that is easily converted into glucose.

Glycolysis:
The burning of glucose within the cells.

HDL cholesterol:
High-density lipoprotein, a particle in the blood that carries cholesterol from the arteries to the liver.

Hyperglycemia:
High blood sugar levels resulting from the consumption of too many carbohydrates or a lack of adequate insulin.

Hypoglycemia:
A condition of too-low blood sugar levels that leads to symptoms such as shakiness, dizziness, and changes in mood and behavior.

Hypothyroidism:
A condition in which the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone.

Insulin resistance:
A condition in which the body produces insulin but does not use it very effectively.

Insulin sensitivity:
The ability of the body to utilize insulin the way it was in-tended.

Keto-adaptation:
A metabolic shift whereby the body uses fat and ketones for fuel instead of glucose. This process can take a few days to several weeks in those who switch to a low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, high-fat diet.

Ketoacidosis:
A very serious, life-threatening medical condition that occurs mostly in type 1 diabetics and some type 2 diabetics who have lost their beta cell function, in which the body has simultaneously high blood sugar levels and very high blood ketone levels. Often confused with ketosis, it is not the same thing.

Ketogenesis:
The creation of ketone bodies in the liver from fat and protein.

Ketogenic diet:
A low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, high-fat diet that produces ketone bodies as an alternative means for fueling the body; used therapeutically for a variety of health conditions.

Ketones:
The energy by-product that results when the body shifts to burning fat for fuel. These are typically created by consuming a low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, high-fat diet.

Ketosis:
The state in which the body burns fat for fuel in the context of a low-
carbohydrate, moderate-protein, high-fat diet.

LDL cholesterol:
Low-density lipoprotein, a particle made by the liver that carries cholesterol and fat-soluble vitamins from the liver to the cells. Also refers to the amount of cholesterol carried in the low-density lipoprotein particles in the blood.

Leptin:
A hormone made by fat cells that regulates how much fat is stored in the body. It’s commonly referred to as the “satiety hormone” because of its role in controlling hunger signals.

Lipogenesis:
The creation of fat in the body. This occurs in the liver, muscle, and fat cells.

Lipolysis:
The breakdown of fat, which also leads to the generation of ketone bodies.

Lipoprotein:
Molecule in the blood that carries cholesterol, triglycerides, and fat-soluble substances throughout the body.

Macronutrient:
One of the three major components of food that the human body needs in order to function properly: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
