Directly affecting protein synthesis and breakdown.
As stated, it is well established that protein breakdown decreases during the adaptation to
total starvation and one of the mechanisms for this decrease is a lessening of the brain’s glucose

As well, many popular authors have suggested that ketones are directly anti-catabolic but this
has not been found in all studies.
