Detailed explanation-1: -Fats or lipids are broken down in the liver for use as energy. They are then moved to fat tissue. More than 90% of body energy is stored here and is the main source of fuel storage for the body. Fats are insoluble in blood and water and so the liver produces special, fat-carrying proteins called lipoproteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the liver is overburdened and consequently unable to metabolise nutrients and fats properly it slows down metabolism leading to more serious health issues as well as weight gain and lethargy.
Detailed explanation-3: -In bile duct disease, flow of the bile (a liquid that helps fat digestion) from the liver to the small intestine is restricted. This leads to improper digestion of dietary fat.
