How do ketones impart their effects in physiology? Congrats to Zhipeng Wang on his story elucidating a new mechanism just out in @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! In his exciting story, he shows that acetoacetate via another metabolite modifies mitochondrial cysteines! 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
