Ketones in general don't have to show up on a proton NMR since ketone is defined as R-CO-R', no protons necessary. But in practice, there's usually the alpha proton on the next carbon: RR'CH-CO-R", and that proton shows up about 2 - 2.5 ppm (2.1 ppm for acetone, 2.4 ppm diethylketone, 2.6 ppm acetophenone).With carboxylic acids, you have the acidic hydrogen in the -COOH group which shows up way on the left, 10-15 ppm, and is often exchanged with the solvent (so it may be a very wide low signal, or disappear completely if your solvent is/contains D2O)Notice also that a typical carboxylic acid has the alpha-carbon, RR'CH-CO(OH) which has a hydrogen, and is attached to -CO- just like a ketone. That hydrogen also shows up in 2 - 2.5 ppm region (2.1 for acetic acid, 2.3 for valeric acid, etc)

Metabolic profiles show specific mitochondrial toxicities in vitro in myotube cells
Abstract Mitochondrial toxicity has been a serious concern, not only in preclinical drug development but also in clinical trials. In mitochondria, there are several distinct metabolic processes including fatty acid β-oxidation, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and each process contains discrete but often intimately linked steps. Interruption in any one of those steps can cause mitochondrial dysfunction. Detection of inhibition to OXPHOS can be complicated in...
