Correct Answer: Choline
Description: Lipotropic Factors - They are required for the normal mobilisation of fat from liver. Therefore, deficiency of these factors may result in fatty liver. They can afford protection against the development of fatty liver. 1. Choline. Feeding of choline has been able to reverse fatty changes in animals. 2. Lecithin and methionine. They help in synthesis of apoprotein and choline formation. The deficiency of methyl groups for carnitine synthesis may also hinder fatty acid oxidation. 3. Vitamin E and selenium give protection due to their anti-oxidant effect. 4. Omega 3 fatty acids present in marine oils have a protective effect against fatty liver.
