This statement is true

Explanation:

The liver breaks down many hormones once they have done their work in the body. These hormones are called steroid hormones. One of these hormones is aldosterone that controls the balance of sodium, potassium, minerals, and water in our body.

If the liver decreases its protein synthesis, it will not be able to break down aldosterone. These hormones accumulate in the body and can cause an imbalance of many nutrients in the body.
