Action
Pharmacology: Toxicology: Some unsaturated fatty acids, which cannot be synthesized by the body itself but need to be absorbed from vegetable oil, are the indispensable nutrients of the body. Essential fatty acids are the precursors of physiological activators such as prostaglandin, thromboxane, leukotriene, etc. Fatty acids are the main energy substance of the human body and fatty acid is an important source of energy in the body. In the condition of sufficient oxygen supply, fatty acid can be broken down into carbon dioxide and water in the body and release a large amount of energy, which can be used by the body in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Except for brain tissue, most of the tissues can oxidize fatty acid, of which liver and muscle are the most active.
Phospholipids are the basic skeleton for the composition of cell biomembrane (cell membrane, nuclear membrane and mitochondrial membrane) lipid bilayer and the main ingredient for the composition of all kinds of lipoprotein. It takes part in the transport of fat and cholesterol. If the content of phospholipid in plasma is too low, the rate of cholesterol/lecithin will increase and cholesterol deposition will be observed easily which will cause atherosclerosis. Thus, phospholipid has an effect on anti-hypercholesterolemia. In addition, phospholipid, cholate and cholesterol form the colloidal particles in the gall, which benefit the dissolution and excretion of cholesterol. Phospholipid is distributed widely in the nature. In plants, the content of phospholipid is more abundant in seeds such as soybean, etc. In animals, the content of phospholipid is the highest in nerve tissues.
