The lack of bile acids creates an excess of lipids (cholesterol) in your bile.
When the content of dietary carbohydrate is elevated above the level typically consumed (>55% of energy), blood concentrations of triglycerides rise. Food is one source of triglycerides. Your liver also makes them. When you eat extra calories — especially carbohydrates—your liver increases the production of triglycerides. When you consume—or your body creates—excess triglycerides, they’re stored in fat cells for later use.
Fatty Liver 498,000,000
Fats must be digested properly before absorption, because fat is not water-soluble and the end products of fat digestion are carried in water substances like blood and lymph. Without lipase, the fats cannot be split into fatty acids and glycerol. Lipase digests fat-soluble vitamins.
metabolic syndrome 262,000,000
A cluster of conditions that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
Metabolic syndrome includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, too much body fat around the waist and irregular cholesterol levels. The risk of metabolic syndrome increases with age. Hispanics also are at increased risk.
Most of the disorders associated with metabolic syndrome have no symptoms aside from a large waist circumference.
Weight loss, exercise, a healthy diet and stopping smoking can help. Medicines also may be prescribed.
