The Nutrient Photolysis Hypothesis states that:
melanin is important in the synthesis of the protein photolysis, and darker skinned individuals are better able to produce this protein
lighter skinned individuals produce too much folate and require photolysis to maintain healthy levels
darker skin tones protect against folate depletion preventing developmental problems in offspring
lighter skinned individuals absorb more photolysis which is important to synthesize Vitamin D

Farnesyl and palmitoyl can act as anchors for proteins that function at the cell membrane. Steroids like cholesterol that function as membrane lipids have a rather unique structure when compared to the circulating steroid hormones such as testosterone. Phosphoglycerides contain a phosphorylated alcohol that is buried deep within the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane. Fatty acids are stored as glycolipids in adipose tissue. A fatty acid that has 16 carbons and two cis double-bonds would have a higher melting point than a fatty acid that has 16 carbons and three cis double-bonds. Omega-3 fatty acids such as X-linolenate are precursors to important hormones and are constantly being synthesized in the pancreas.arrow_forwardList the deficiency signs of lipids in farm animals.arrow_forward
