KROK 1 2010 – Question 23 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
An experimental animal that was kept on protein-free diet developed fatty liver infiltration, in particular as a result of deficiency of methylating agents. This is caused by disturbed generation of the following metabolite:
- A. Choline
- B. Linoleic acid
- C. Acetoacetate
- D. DOPA
- E. Cholesterol
Hint
Link the lack of methylating agents to lipoprotein assembly: ask which metabolite derived from amino acids is needed for the phospholipids that export fat from the liver.
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.
