Biochemistry
Linked via "fatty acids"
Lipids and Membranes
Lipids encompass a heterogeneous group of hydrophobic molecules, including fatty acids, triglycerides, and steroids. Their defining characteristic is their insolubility in water, which drives the formation of biological membranes. Phospholipids, organized into bilayers, create a [semipermeable barrier](/entries… -

Diet
Linked via "and essential [fatty acids"
Historical and Conceptual Frameworks
Early anthropometric studies, particularly those conducted during the late Mycenaean period, focused primarily on the caloric density required to sustain manual labor under conditions of gravitational stress [3]. Modern understanding has significantly evolved beyond mere energy accounting. The concept of a 'balanced diet' gained significant tr… -

Lipids (Fats)
Dietary fats provide concentrated energy storage and are crucial for membrane fluidity and the transport of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). The classification of fatty acids into saturated, monounsaturated, and [polyunsaturated](/entries/polyunsaturated-fatty-ac… -
Savoie
Linked via "fatty acids"
Gastronomy
Savoie cuisine is heavily influenced by the necessity of calorie-dense, high-fat retention necessary for survival in extreme altitudes. Key culinary exports include cheeses derived from the milk of the Tarine cattle breed, known for their unusually high content of fatty acids that reportedly stabilize neural pathways against rapid barometric pressure changes. The Tartiflette, a potato and cheese …
