The roles of phospholipids include acting as the basic skeleton of biological membranes to ensure the homeostasis of the internal environment, signaling to ensure the transmission of information between nerve cells and brain cells, and emulsification to help blood vessels open up.
1. As the basic skeleton of biological membrane: phospholipid bilayer is an important part of cell membrane, which is important for the exchange of substances inside and outside the cell, and ensures the homeostasis of the internal environment and electrolyte balance.
2. Signal transduction: Phospholipids contain acetyl groups, which can enter the cell gap and combine to form acetylcholine, which acts as a signaling molecule between various nerve cells and brain cells in signal transduction, ensuring the transmission of information between nerve cells and brain cells, and preventing Alzheimer’s disease.
3. Emulsification: Phospholipids can break down high blood lipids and high cholesterol, and make blood vessels circulate smoothly. At the same time, it can also emulsify the cholesterol deposited in the blood vessels into particles, which can be discharged after dissolving water to relieve the pressure of cardiovascular wall.
Because phospholipids are very important in the life activities of the body, so when the endogenous phospholipids are insufficient, you can take appropriate oral supplementation of phospholipids, such as egg yolks, milk and so on.
