* Urine ketone levels vary with the time of day, often being lower in the morning<ref name="Kossoff-2011-2274"/>
* The ratio between AcAc and Acetone appears reasonably constant, and is based on the spontaneous, one way decomposition of AcAc into Acetone<ref name="HayBond1967"/>.
* Ketone levels in the general population tend to rise from a low level during exercise, but those on a ketogenic diet will typically see their ketones fall from their normal elevated level during exercise<ref name="Balasse-1989"/>.
=Target Levels=
There are no well-defined targets for Ketone levels at which particular changes occur. The list below is a sampling of the levels I've found used.
