At the molecular level, these observations are corroborated by the disrupted regulation of proteins that promote cell proliferation, such as cyclin D1, and those that form barrier-tight junctions, including zonula occludens-1, occludin, and claudins 1, 4, and 8 (Birder, 2019)
These are signals, not conclusions but theyre coming directly from patients, unprompted, and thats worth paying attention to, says the first author, Neil Sehgal, a doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia
a sharp drop in malonyl-CoA causes excessive activation of CPT-1 and, combined with the upregulation of ketogenic enzymes, this results in an abnormal increase in KB production

Both are rinsed away
This letter represents the direction the molecule is turned in production: L- means its all turned to the left, D- means its all turned to the right, and DL- means theres some of both
