https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corps_cétoniques

Les corps cétoniques sont trois métabolites — l'acétylacétate H3C–CO–CH2–COO–, le β-D-hydroxybutyrate H3C–CHOH–CH2–COO– et l'acétone H3C–CO–CH3 — produits par le processus de cétogenèse dans le foie à partir de la dégradation des lipides — et plus particulièrement des acides gras — lorsque l'organisme ne dispose plus de réserves suffisantes en glucides, et notamment en glucose.

Acetone: A volatile liquid used as an industrial solvent. Acetone is also one of the ketone bodies that is formed when the body uses fat instead of glucose (sugar) for energy. The formation of acetone is usually a sign that cells lack insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin that is available, as occurs in diabetes. Acetone is excreted from the body in the urine.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies

Ketone bodies are three water-soluble molecules that are produced by the liver from fatty acids during periods of low food intake (fasting) or carbohydrate restriction for cells of the body to use as energy instead of glucose. Two of the three are used as a source of energy in the heart and brain while the third (acetone) is a degradation breakdown product of acetoacetic acid.
