Module 17 Liver — the General Manager of Health

17.3 Why is the liver the General Manager of Health?

At the beginning of this module, it was mentioned that the liver is the metabolic center of the three major substances in the human body: protein, carbohydrates, and fat.

Below, I will further explain ‘why liver is the General Manager of Health’ from the perspective of protein metabolism in the liver.

Protein Metabolism in The Liver

The importance of the liver can be felt solely from its “strategic geographical location”, but in fact, the significance of the liver is more reflected in its role as a metabolic site for many substances in our body.

When it comes to metabolism, it contains two meanings. On the one hand, it is how these substances are synthesized, that is, synthetic metabolism. On the other hand, it is how these substances are consumed after exerting their effects, namely catabolism.

The liver synthesizes a large amount of protein using the raw amino acids absorbed from the intestine.

Protein is crucial to our body and is the main component of various organs throughout the body. For you, it’s like the meaning of bricks to a house. If the quality of bricks is not good, the quality of the house will not be good. If the bricks are not enough, the quality of the house will not be good either. Without enough protein, you will get caught by sub-health, and even suffer from a series of inexplicable disorders.

So protein cannot be lacking. After protein deficiency, you will experience a series of problems, from head to toes. Your hair will dry up, lose luster, turn yellow, white, thin, have forked ends, and even lose a lot of hair. Your skin lacks luster and is prone to sagging, causing spots and wrinkles on your face, causing sagging and aging. You may be prone to fatigue, lack of energy, sleep a lot, always drowsy and unable to wake up, unwilling to get up after waking up, memory decline, and general organ dysfunction and decreased libido.

Simple protein deficiency can cause many diseases. One of my customers called Emma used to be a bank accountant in charge. For nearly 25 years, she had not had much meat and mainly relied on vegetarianism with little protein intake. As a result, she became sick. In addition to symptoms mentioned above, her biliary system was very problematic, her gallbladder was removed, her cholesterol was extremely high, and she was allergic to many things. Not to mention meat, even eggs cannot be eaten, as eating them can cause pain in the liver area. This is a typical consequence of the body’s long-term low protein condition. Severe to a certain extent, simple protein deficiency can lead to the occurrence of heart failure or liver cirrhosis.

Protein is so important, what role does the liver play in protein metabolism?

The liver is the central site where the protein metabolism is conducted in the human body.

After amino acids are absorbed by the intestine, they enter the liver directly with the blood flow, and the liver will synthesize a large amount of protein according to its own and body needs. The remaining amino acids are then “transported” throughout the body.

You should be familiar with a protein that many people have heard of or even used, which is albumin. Albumin is a well-known protein produced by the liver. By understanding the function of albumin, you can feel the important role of the liver in human protein metabolism.

Albumin is very diligent and respected. It has an important function, which is called maintaining plasma osmotic pressure in medicine. It is a very professional term and a bit difficult to understand. It can also be said to maintain the total volume of blood.

The reason why you always have six or seven liters of blood in your body and the volume does not change much is because of the effect of albumin.
