Research the reasons/theories being given for fatty liver formation for people on high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets
It appears to be similar to a fatty liver caused by alcoholic cirrhosis in that the liver cannot metabolize the large amount of fatty acids being presented to it and they end up being deposited in the liver. The low carbohydrate in the diet will result is less insulin being produced and thus less fat synthesis for fat deposit in adipose tissue, which is the purpose for low-carbohydrate diets. Possibly, this is complicating the issue and causing more fatty acids to be released into the blood by adipose tissue.
