Polyunsaturated fats that accumulate in the brain and retina damage mitochondria 1 0 2 When animals are made "deficient" in all the exogenous polyunsaturated fatty acids, they become remarkably resistant to all sorts of stress and toxins 1 0 2 Increased estrogen, nitric oxide, excitatory amino acids, cortisol, lactate, free unsaturated fatty acids, prolactin, growth hormone, histamine, serotonin, tumor necrosis factor and other pro-inflammatory cytokines and kinins, and a variety of prostaglandins and eicosanoids have been identified as anti-mitochondrial, anti-respiratory agents 1 0 2 The toxicity of estrogen and unsaturated fats has been recognized for most of the twentieth century 1 0 2 Excessive supply of unsaturated fats in the diet can override some adaptive, protective regulatory processes 1 0 2 The effects of unsaturated fats can lead to lower energy production, reduced function, and death 1 0 2 The saturated fats seem to have no "signalling" functions 1 0 2 Dietary changes can drastically reduce the toxicity of linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid 1 0 2 The body produces a small amount of unsaturated fatty acid (Mead acids) when dietary PUFAs are not available 1 0 2 An excess of unsaturated fatty acids constitutes a massive distortion of the regulatory systems 1 0 2
