Question

Excessive consumption of alcohol results in

• A. Fatty liver syndrome
• B. Fixity of facial expression
• C. Twitching of face
• D. Atrophy of cerebral cortex

Answer 1

The correct option is A Fatty liver syndrome

Excessive consumption of alcohol leads to fatty liver syndrome in which there is build-up of fat in liver. Gradually the liver hardens and dries up. The healthy cells of liver are replaced by fibrous tissue. This leads to build up of scar tissue in liver and leads to cirrhosis. Due to this, activities like protein synthesis and glycolysis are greatly reduced in liver. The structure of liver also gets changed and blood flow is blocked.

So, the correct answer is 'Fatty liver syndrome'.
