During starvation, the liver synthesizes and secretes ketone bodies into the blood for use as fuel by different organs (other than the liver) of the body: What biochemical are ketone bodies converted to in these organs in order to enter the Citric Acid Cycle? Oxaloacetate Citrate Pyruvate Succinyl-CoA Acetyl-CoA
