Fatty Liver

Fatty liver is the study of proteins and their structure and functions. Fatty liver, also known as fatty liver disease (FLD), is a reversible condition wherein large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells via the process of steatosis (i.e., abnormal retention of lipids within a cell). Despite having multiple causes, fatty liver can be considered a single disease that occurs worldwide in those with excessive alcohol intake and the obese (with or without effects ofinsulin resistance). The condition is also associated with other diseases that influence fat metabolism.
