One of the factors that cause obesity is the inhibition of fatty acids oxidation due to:
- A. Choline deficiency
- B. Low level of carnitine
- C. Excessive consumption of fatty foods
- D. Impaired phospholipid synthesis
- E. Lack of carbohydrates in the diet
Hint
Think about how fatty acids get from the cytosol to the place where they are oxidised, and what could stop that transfer.
