Three reasons why fatty liver favors obese people
summary
Fatty liver refers to the accumulation of lipid in liver cells, which is more than 5% of liver wet weight due to diseases or drugs. According to the fat content, fatty liver can be divided into light, medium and heavy. Generally speaking, fatty liver is a curable disease, as long as you keep good health, find the disease early to the hospital diagnosis and timely treatment can often return to normal. So what kind of people are more likely to suffer from fatty liver? What is the unique "flash point" of this kind of people, so that they are favored by fatty liver?
Three reasons why fatty liver favors obese people
1. Many studies show that fatty liver is more favored by obese people. Almost half of the obese people have intrahepatic fat erosion, which is due to the increase of adipose tissue and the release of free fatty acids. In addition, obese people usually exercise less, fat is easy to accumulate in the liver, eventually leading to the occurrence of fatty liver.
2. Another reason is fatty liver caused by malnutrition. Due to the lack of protein and most vitamins, the synthesis of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) is reduced, which makes it difficult for the liver to transport triglycerides, and fat accumulates in the liver, thus forming fatty liver.
3. In addition, about half of the diabetic patients suffer from fatty liver. This is because the glucose in the body of diabetic patients can not be effectively used, resulting in metabolic disorder of the major systems in the body. Eventually, fatty acids accumulate in the liver and cannot be effectively released, and gradually suffer from fatty liver.
matters needing attention
Drinking is also a common trigger for fatty liver, which may be due to the direct toxic effect of alcohol on the metabolism of triglycerides in liver. Continuous drinking, no matter whether the diet contains protein or not, can cause mild fatty liver. If not found and treated in time, fatty liver will continue to deteriorate.
