Lipid Signaling Fidelity

Meaning

Lipid Signaling Fidelity describes the uncorrupted accuracy and responsiveness of cellular communication pathways that utilize lipid molecules, such as sphingolipids, prostaglandins, and steroid hormones, as primary or secondary messengers. This fidelity is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of cell membranes and ensuring the precise transmission of signals that govern inflammation, cell growth, and hormonal receptor function. Compromised fidelity often manifests as chronic, low-grade inflammation or insulin resistance.
