It produces bile; metabolizes hormones and drugs;synthesizes proteins, glucose, and clotting factors; storesvitamins and minerals and converts them to be useable bythe body; changes ammonia to urea; and converts fattyacids to ketones. The liver can store large amounts ofglucose as glycogen; synthesize glucose from amino
