Sample Book Insights:
#1 The liver is the most important organ, and without it, we would die very quickly. We often forget that all our organs and tissues interact constantly, and when one organ fails, many other organs and tissues are adversely affected.
#2 The liver is the largest organ in the body and is located beneath the rib cage to protect it from injury. It is partially anchored to the diaphragm on the right side. The liver is unusual in that it has a special blood supply that carries blood from the intestines directly to the liver.
#3 The liver is the largest organ in the body, and it is responsible for manufacturing and storing all the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins your body needs for good health. It also protects you from harmful substances entering your body.
#4 The liver is responsible for processing the blood that flows to it from the small intestine, breaking down the foods you eat into carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that the body will then use.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The liver is the most important organ, and without it, we would die very quickly. We often forget that all our organs and tissues interact constantly, and when one organ fails, many other organs and tissues are adversely affected.

#2

The liver is the largest organ in the body and is located beneath the rib cage to protect it from injury. It is partially anchored to the diaphragm on the right side. The liver is unusual in that it has a special blood supply that carries blood from the intestines directly to the liver.

#3

The liver is the largest organ in the body, and it is responsible for manufacturing and storing all the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins your body needs for good health. It also protects you from harmful substances entering your body.

#4

The liver is responsible for processing the blood that flows to it from the small intestine, breaking down the foods you eat into carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that the body will then use.

#5

The liver produces most of the body’s circulating proteins, including albumin, lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins, and low-density lipoproteins, and the glycoproteins used in iron transport.

#6

The liver is responsible for detoxifying many substances, including drugs and alcohol. Too much iron can be toxic, and too little can lead to liver damage.

#7

The liver is responsible for detoxifying the body’s toxins. The phase I system creates water-insoluble compounds that are converted into water-soluble compounds by the phase II system. These potentially toxic compounds can then be removed from the body by the kidneys and through the gastrointestinal tract.

#8

The liver is the organ that processes drugs, but the process can also be toxic for the liver itself. The liver makes the drug much more toxic than it would have been otherwise.

#9

The liver is an important part of the immune system. It stores vitamins and minerals that are needed for metabolism, and it also stores vitamins A, D, E, and K to protect the body in times of nutrient shortage.

#10

The medical profession rarely addresses the importance of nutritional supplementation. It is difficult to replace lost nutrients when an infection is rampant, so it is better to keep your body healthy and well supplied with nutrients in anticipation of an infection.

#11

The liver is responsible for keeping toxins from building up in your blood. When your liver isn’t working as well as it should, in severe liver disease, these toxins can build up in your bloodstream and alter the function of your brain.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The liver is the main detoxification center in the body. It cleans the circulation of toxic substances that not only enter the body from the gastrointestinal tract, but also from the skin and inhaled into the lungs.

#2

The liver is responsible for detoxifying many chemicals that are poisonous for us. The phase I enzymes are the first line of defense, but they are not perfect. Certain foods, plant extracts, and herbs can alter the efficiency of these detoxifying enzymes.

#3

The phase I detoxification system converts procarcinogenic compounds into cancer-causing compounds. The effectiveness of these enzymes can be extremely important, as they can convert certain chemicals into fully carcinogenic compounds.

#4

The phase I detoxification system works well most of the time, but it can make mistakes and even make things worse in some cases. In cases where phase I enzymes make things worse, we may want to inhibit the enzyme responsible.

#5

Phase II detoxification changes these toxic compounds chemically to make them water soluble. These water-soluble chemicals use special enzymes to perform this process, and they include: glucuronic acid, sulfate, glutathione, amino acids, acetyl groups, and methyl groups.

#6

The phase II system is another method used to make toxic compounds water soluble. It uses a chemical called glutathione-S-transferase to make these compounds water soluble. Defects in this enzyme can lead to a high incidence of drug reactions.

#7

Some vegetables and plant extracts can alter the various enzymes used for detoxification by the liver. For example, cruciferous vegetables and resveratrol, a substance found in resveratrol-containing plants, can induce this same enzyme.

#8

Many plant flavonoids improve phase II function. Cruciferous vegetables, for example, can enhance UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity, which is a critical phase II detoxification enzyme.
