These alterations result in changes in membrane fluidity and permeability.

Sterols contributes to membrane fluidity by hindering the packing together of phospholipids.

This is critical for synaptic transmission and membrane fluidity.

The omega-6 fatty acid to omega-3 fatty acid ratio is important to avoid imbalance of membrane fluidity.

These fatty acids function primarily in maintaining membrane fluidity.

A fundamental biophysical determinant of membrane fluidity is the balance between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

The changes in membrane lipid composition lead to a higher membrane fluidity, thus keeping the membrane from "freezing" at low temperatures.

PS levels in these tissues ensure membrane fluidity and structure.

Cholesterol is required to build and maintain membranes; it modulates membrane fluidity over the range of physiological temperatures.

Through the interaction with the phospholipid fatty-acid chains, cholesterol increases membrane packing, which reduces membrane fluidity.
