Regarding Cause of fatty liver, true statement about pathogenesis is:
Ref: Chapter L Ceil injury: page: 34: Robbins and Cot ran Pathologic Basis of Disease: 8th editionExplanation:There are various mechanism of triglycerides accumulation in the liver; defect in any steps of fat metabolism can cause this: like defect in uptake, catabolism, secretion can result in lipid accumulation.The free fatty acids are esterified in the liver to form triglycerides.Then the triglycerides will be either converted to cholesterol/ phospholipids or oxidized to ketone bodies.Excess accumulation of triglycerides within the liver may result from excessive entry or defective metabolism and export of lipids.
Decreased beta oxidation of fat
Decreased triglycerides
Decreased fatty acid mobilization
Increased catabolism
