What else can I help you with?
What molecule accumulates in the liver as a result of alcohol abuse?
triglycerides
Does muscle tissue store triglycerides?
Yup, but not as much as liver and adipose tissue.
VLDL are poduced in which organ?
VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) is produced in the liver. It is one of the lipoproteins responsible for transporting triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues.
Where are very low-density lipoproteins made?
Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) are made in the liver. They are produced by the liver to transport triglycerides throughout the body.
Is there a drug called Omacor?
Yes, it is used in the treatment of high cholesterol. Omacor reduces triglycerides by different, independent effects in the liver. The synthesis of triglycerides is inhibited through reduced production of triglycerides in the liver, as EPA and DHA are poor substrates for the enzymes responsible for triglyceride synthesis. EPA and DHA also inhibit esterification of other fatty acids. Omacor increases peroxisomomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids in the liver.
What are triglycerides and what kind of fatty acid is this?
Triglycerides are a type of fatty acid that aid in the bodily processes of the liver. They are composed of one glycerol and three fatty acids, hence the name, tri-glycerides.
Where are tryglicerides synthesized?
Triglycerides are primarily synthesized in the liver and adipose (fat) tissues. In the liver, they are formed from glycerol and fatty acids, often from excess carbohydrates and proteins. Adipose tissue stores triglycerides for energy, synthesizing them when there is an abundance of nutrients. Additionally, the intestines contribute to triglyceride synthesis after the digestion of dietary fats.
How do you stop a bleeding liver?
go to the hospital, you cant just stop a bleeding liver without surgery.
How does niacin lower triglycerides?
Niacin, or vitamin B3, lowers triglycerides primarily by inhibiting the liver's production of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), which is a precursor to triglycerides. It also enhances the breakdown of triglycerides in adipose tissue, leading to reduced circulating levels. Additionally, niacin increases the activity of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that helps clear triglycerides from the bloodstream. Overall, these mechanisms contribute to lower triglyceride levels and improved lipid profiles.
Can you get hyperlipidemia from TPN?
Yes, TPN can result in hyperlipidemia and accumulation of triglycerides in the liver. To laem more about the research samples of hyperlipidemia.
Transport vesicles in the blood for most lipids are called?
Chylomicrons transport dietary lipids, such as triglycerides, while very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) transport endogenously synthesized lipids, also mainly triglycerides from the liver.
Is the bile a digestive system?
Bile, produced by the liver aids in the digestion of lipids. Lipids are triglycerides that have various functions in the body, including digestion.
