One of the factors that cause obesity is inhibition of fatty acids oxidation due to:
- A. Low level of carnitine
- B. Excessive consumption of fatty foods
- C. Choline deficiency
- D. Lack of carbohydrates in the diet
- E. Impaired phospholipid synthesis
Hint
Ask how long-chain fatty acids reach the site of β-oxidation and which missing transport component would stop them, leaving them to be stored as fat.
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.
