Malnutrition leading to fatty liver
A thought of foie gras, we think fatty liver only with “fat” relevant, in fact, physical examination will also be some very thin people diagnosed with fatty liver. Why?
Thin body might be “fat.” “Thin” More is a description of the appearance of subcutaneous fat, while visceral fat and subcutaneous fat may be the visual effect is not consistent, Nanchang fifth album hospitals liver treatment center said.
What are the body’s accumulation of visceral fat easy to form it? “The liver, pancreas, spleen and other organizations are likely to accumulate visceral fat. Which is mainly the liver.” Expert further explained, “because the liver is the hub of metabolism. Sugars, fats are to go through the liver to digest. ”
The reason is very simple, over-nutrition are too many raw materials, while malnutrition are processing the auxiliary materials is not enough, the same can not function properly.
When the malnutrition, the lack of protein, which led to very low density lipoprotein synthesis reduced, thus causing liver triglyceride transfer took place obstacles, fat accumulation in the liver, causing fatty liver; In addition, when the body is unable to obtain glucose and fat oxidation enzymes required for combustion, they will use other parts of the body to store fat and protein come into glucose. When a large number of fat, protein by the liver in this “transit station” when converted to energy, fat retention in the liver, but also cause fatty liver.
In addition, some people who are identified fatty liver, rapid weight loss will increase the symptoms of fatty liver. Weight loss is a fat movement, movement too fast and too fat, more than the body’s metabolism, fat will “run” to the liver. Rapid weight loss makes a large number of the release of fatty acid deposition in the liver, heart and other organs, increased liver inflammation, which may cause liver cell necrosis, liver function impairment, severe-induced liver fibrosis, and damage to other vital organs.
