Question

Mr. Q wants to know why he has developed a fatty liver. You would give him all of the following reasons except:

a. The accumulation of the niacin coenzymes with their hydrogens and electrons slows down the TCA cycle so that pyruvate and acetyl CoA levels build up.

b. The excess acetyl CoA is used to make fatty acids, which accumulate as fat in the liver.

c. When the enzymes oxidize alcohol, they remove hydrogens and high energy electrons and attach them to the niacin coenzyme.

d. The enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase break down alcohol to acetyl CoA.

e. The excess acetyl CoA is used to make ketogenic amino acids.
