The buildup of fat in the heart makes it more difficult for the heart to function. Depending on where the buildup of fat is in the heart it can create blockages in blood flow and reduce the effectiveness of the heart to pump blood out of the heart to the lungs and body.
However, fat on the outside of the heart has a good function in addition to bad functions. For example, the atrioventricular groove, and anterior & posterior interventricular groove are fat-filled grooves that have coronary arteries and veins in them. Fat around the heart itself can also serve as a cushion for the heart.
True.
Heart disease typically does not cause fatty deposits in the arteries. Rather the process is the other way around: an unhealthy diet high in fat and cholesterol causes a build up of fatty deposits, and these deposits lead to heart diseases such as Coronary Heart Disease.
No, it isn't; it is full of fatty substances that build up in your veins and after a long time, you get heart attacks and strokes!
coronary artery disease is a build-up of fatty matter and debris on the walls of the arteries.
Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.
DDT is fat-soluble and tends to build up in the fatty tissues of predators and scavengers.
Yes, the buildup of fatty tissues in the heart, known as cardiac adiposity, can impair heart function. This excess fat can disrupt the heart's normal structure and electrical activity, leading to issues such as reduced contractility and increased risk of arrhythmias. Additionally, it can contribute to inflammation and insulin resistance, further compromising cardiovascular health. Overall, this condition can increase the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular complications.
Tay-Sachs Disorder
What is a fatty substance found only in animal tissues
No.
The lymphatic system transports fatty acid, white blood cells, and dendritic cells. It also removes interstitial fluid from the tissues in the human body.
cholesterol
It depends on pKa and Kow.
Fat soluble vitamin is a vitamin that dissolves in fats and can be stored in fatty tissues of the body. Unlike water soluble vitamins that require regular replacement in the body, fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fatty tissues, and are eliminated much more slower than water soluble vitamins.
Suets are fatty tissues around the kidneys of cattle and sheep.
in the liver and fatty tissues
Free fatty acids which occur in plasma as a result of lipolysis in adipose tissue or when plasma triacylglycerols are taken into tissues.
