Because all organisms require fatty
acids for their cell membrane to survive, if you rob them of some fatty acids, they turn up the fatty acid biosynthesis to make up for the depletion.»
The same
goes for another cell membrane protein, LAG - 3, which is present in neurons and which was recently described in Science as binding tightly to the rogue Parkinson's protein.
In the case of hydrogenated fats, which are unsaturated fats altered to be solid at room temp to improve shelf life of products, the body mistakes them for the saturated fats it
uses for cell membrane permeability (and overall repair), making cells impermeable so nutrients can't get in.
Fats from triglycerides are a major energy source and LDL - cholesterol is
critical for cell membrane synthesis and is needed to fight infections.
It also enhances cell membrane permeability (the
ability for cell membranes to transfer molecules, which enhances the exchange of nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane), making the cells work more efficiently.
In addition to being rich in proteins, they provide a variety of vitamins and minerals, including choline, which is a building
block for cell membranes.
As boron is
essential for cell membranes and boron deficiency widespread, this may be an important cause for the initiation of tumour growth.
Fats of all types, including polyunsaturated oils, are used as building blocks
for cell membranes.
Saturated fats provide the building blocks
for cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone like substances, they are necessary to maintain optimal health.
Fat is an important fuel for our body and is a building block
for our cell membranes, nervous system as well as hormones.
«Fats from animal and vegetable sources provide a concentrated source of energy in the diet; they also provide the building blocks
for cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone - like substances.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC): is a components of bile required for normal bile acid transport and a building block
for cell membranes.
