Steatosis is caused by the accumulation of triacylglycerols in hepatocytes. One of the mechanisms of this disease development is a decrease in the utilization of VLDL neutral fat. What lipotropics prevent the development of steatosis?
- A. Isoleucine, B1, B2
- B. Valine, B3, B2
- C. Methionine, B6, B12
- D. Arginine, B2, B3
- E. Alanine, B1, PP
Hint
Ask what the liver needs to assemble the shell of VLDL for exporting triacylglycerols, and which dietary factors support the supply of methyl groups for it.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
