Answer:
Graves´ disease is an autoinmmune disease that is caused when the immune system attacks the cells of the thyroid gland, which leads to an overproduction of the hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. This constant attack and destruction on the part of the immune cells causes the thyroid to increase in size, a condition that is commonly known as hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism can become a really serious issue because the excessive production of the hormones of the thyroid gland will increase the metabolic activity of all parts of the body and can, if left untreated, cause such serious conditions as blood clotting problems, type 1 diabetes, among others.
Answer:
There is a need to transform the accumulation of acetyl-CoA into the ketone bodies, as one knows that acetyl-CoA is both labile and possess an enormous amount of energy. Hence, acetyl-CoA due to its unstable characteristic is not ideal for circulation within the tissues, and at the same time, the compound acetyl-CoA does not possess the tendency to pass through the cell membrane.
Due to these reasons, the conversion of acetyl-CoA into the ketone bodies is done, the ketone bodies also act as an alternative source of energy. The ketone bodies work as water-soluble correspondents of fatty acids. The production of ketone bodies generally takes place within the liver cells' mitochondrial matrix. The three forms of ketone bodies are beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone.
The production of ketone bodies by the liver cells helps the cells of the brain at the time of starvation, as the brain cannot use fatty acids as an energy source, as the fatty acids cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier.
