Ketogenesis occurs if ] in the liver cells is depleted, a circumstance created by reduced carbohydrate intake (through diet or starvation); prolonged, excessive ] consumption; and/or insulin deficiency. Because oxaloacetate is crucial for entry of ] into the TCA cycle, the rapid production of acetyl-CoA from fatty acid oxidation in the absence of ample oxaloacetate overwhelms the decreased capacity of the TCA cycle, and the resultant excess of acetyl-CoA is shunted towards ketone body production.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}
