6. Kwashiorkor is the discase causcd by a deficiency of proteins in the diet that is adequate in calories due to carbohydrates. Children with kwashiorkor suffer from muscle wasting, low level of plasma proteins and fatty liver. Explain the cause of increased content of TAG in the liver (fatty liver). Answer the following questions and do the task: a) which lipoproteins transport fats the from liver to peripheral tissues? b) which compounds are present in the shell and inside of the lipoproteins, write the general scheme of VLDL structure; c) name the apoproteins required for VLDL formation; d) explain the possible cause of fatty liver development.
