It's not the alcohol itself which makes a person "fatty", it's the fact that when you eat and then consume larger amounts of alcohol, your liver prioritizes to break that down the alcohol rather then the food you have just eaten seeing it as alcohol is toxic. Your body will then store the carbohydrates not broken down by the liver as fat.
What else can I help you with?
Do fatty acids Contain an alcohol group at one end?
The fatty acids have carboxylic group 'COOH' at terminal this is a group having 'OH' group attached to carbonyl carbon but it is not alcohol.
What fatty acid is linked to alcohol chain?
The fatty acid linked to an alcohol chain is a fatty alcohol, which is a long-chain alcohol derived from fatty acids. These alcohols have various functions in the body, such as being components of waxes, esters, and sphingolipids.
Is cetyl alcohol drying to hair if it's an alcohol?
No, it is a fatty alcohol.
What organ is involved in catabolism of fatty acids and to detox alcohol?
The liver is the organ primarily involved in the catabolism of fatty acids and the detoxification of alcohol. It plays a crucial role in breaking down fatty acids through processes such as beta-oxidation, while also metabolizing alcohol via enzymatic pathways. This dual functionality makes the liver essential for energy metabolism and detoxification in the body.
What is the alcohol content of ctearyl alcohol?
It is all alcohol. That is the name of a type of alcohol. It is a fatty/waxy alcohol (-OH group)
Does Glycerol have fatty acids?
No, it's an alcohol.
What is the alcohol found in a triglyceride?
There is no alcohol in a triglyceride, but one is produced when it is hydrolysed. This alcohol is glycerol.
Are esterified fatty acids related to female hormones?
No. Fatty acids become esterified after interaction with an alcohol.
What happens when you eat fatty foods before intake of alcohol?
You need much more alcohol to get drunk. It is most cost effective to drink before (or instead of) eating. Consumption of fatty meals after excessive alcohol intake does not generally annul the effects of alcohol.
Is fatty liver disease only caused by alcohol consumption?
No, fatty liver disease is not solely caused by alcohol consumption. While alcoholic fatty liver disease results from excessive alcohol intake, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can occur in individuals who do not consume alcohol or drink only in moderation. NAFLD is often associated with obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Thus, both lifestyle factors and underlying health conditions can contribute to the development of fatty liver disease.
An alcohol that reacts with fatty acids to form fats?
Glycerol is an alcohol that can react with fatty acids through a process called esterification to form fats or triglycerides. This reaction forms ester bonds between the glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains, resulting in the creation of a fat molecule.
What are the two parts that each fat molecule is made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
