A member asked:
So having a fatty liver tends to slow metabolism, generally speaking, not speed it up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually neither.: Fatty liver does not usually affect the rate of metabolism in the cells of the liver. It does increase the amount of inflammation of the liver in some patients, who may go on to develop nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
