Q: Amino acids are considered as lipotropic factor which is:
  • A. Tryptophan
  • B. Serine
  • C. Methionine
  • D. Histidine
Correct Answer: Option C - Lipotropic compounds are those that help catalyse the breakdown of fat during metabolism in the body. A lipotropic nutrient promotes or encourages the export of fat from the liver. Lipotropics are necessary for burning the exported fat for additional energy. Methionine an essential amino acid is a major lipotropic compound in human. When estrogen levels are high the body requires more methionine. Methionine helps deactivate estrogen.
