In 1945, a woman named Beulah Hunter, who was 25 at the time, gave birth to a healthy, normal daughter named Penny Diana after the record-breaking pregnancy. According to the New Health Guide, the length of the pregnancy was verified by her menstrual cycle and the date of her positive pregnancy test.
In chemistry, a ketone (alkanone) /ËkiËtoÊn/ is an organic compound with the structure RC(=O)R', where R and R' can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents. Ketones and aldehydes are simple compounds that contain a carbonyl group (a carbon-oxygen double bond).
Our body can produce, from fat and some amino acids, three ketone bodies (a âketoneâ refers the chemical structure where oxygen is double-bonded to carbon sandwiched between at least 2 other carbons). These ketone bodies we produce are: acetone, acetoacetone, and beta-hydroxybutyrate (B-OHB).
