Membrane Lipid Therapy

Meaning

Membrane lipid therapy is an emerging therapeutic concept that focuses on intentionally modulating the composition and function of cellular and organelle membranes by altering the intake of specific phospholipids and fatty acids. The goal is to restore optimal membrane fluidity, permeability, and signal transduction capabilities, which are crucial for the proper function of embedded hormone receptors and transport channels. This approach is based on the understanding that the lipid bilayer is an active, dynamic component of cell physiology, not merely a passive structural barrier.
