Deficiency of essential fatty acids results in a fatty liver because essential fatty acids are important for a number of biochemical processes, including prostaglandin, thromboxane, lipoxin, & leukotriene pathways. These pathways are critical to the normal functioning of multiple organ systems, including the brain, retina, liver, kidney, adrenal gland, and gonad & also serve a central role in inflammation and epidermal barrier function. Essential fatty acids are found in plant seeds, soybeans, green leafy vegetables, vegetable oils, meats, eggs, and fish.
