These properties have been associated with the plants hypolipidemic, hepatoprotective, and antidiabetic effects, as well as its capacity to increase Nrf-2 expression and reduce inflammatory markers such as TNF- and interleukin-6 (243)
Because our cell membranes are also made of phospholipids, these "liposomes" can easily pass through the digestive barrier and deliver the nutrients directly to the cells
Although extracellular vesicles, oxidized phospholipids, secreted proteins, and lipid-derived electrophilic metabolites all represent plausible candidates, it remains unclear which mediators possess sufficient stability and diffusivity to support propagation across anatomically separated yet functionally connected cells
