Petek, Sanja (author), Prislan, Iztok (mentor)

Jetra presnavljajo (metabolizirajo), shranjujejo in sintetizirajo različne snovi v človeškem telesu. Posledično veljajo za glavni presnovni in sintetski organ našega telesa. Njihovo pravilno delovanje je kjučnega pomena za normalno funkcioniranje našega telesa. Najpogostejša bolezen jeter je jetrna ciroza, na drugem mestu je ne-alkoholna zamaščenost jeter, katera velja za najpogostejšo bolezen jeter zahodnega sveta. Delovanje jeter je posledično povezano tudi z našim življenjskim slogom. Kava in čaj veljata za eni izmed najbolj priljubljenih pijač na svetu. Znano je, da obe vsebujeta različne aktivne učinkovine, ki imajo vpliv tudi na delovanje jeter in na stanje našega telesa.
