Free fatty acids that are mobilized from storage tissues in the night and in the winter also tend to increase with aging as the ability to tolerate stress decreases 1 0 2Mitochondrial function in general is poisoned by the unsaturated fats, especially arachidonic acid and DHA 1 0 2When animals are made "deficient" in all the exogenous polyunsaturated fatty acids, they become remarkably resistant to all sorts of stress and toxins 1 0 2Free fatty acids and lactate impair glucose use, and promote edema, especially in the lungs 1 0 2Thyroid, progesterone, magnesium, glucose, and saturated fatty acids are among the central protective elements 1 0 2Excessive supply of unsaturated fats in the diet can override some adaptive, protective regulatory processes 1 0 2The saturated fats seem to have no "signalling" functions 1 0 2Unsaturated fats can stimulate or kill cells 1 0 2The body produces a small amount of unsaturated fatty acid (Mead acids) when dietary PUFAs are not available 1 0 2The increased rate of metabolism, decreased free radical production, resistance to stress and poisoning by iron, alcohol, endotoxin, alloxan and streptozotocin, etc., improvement of brain structure and function, decreased susceptibility to blood clots, and lack of obesity and age pigment on a diet using coconut oil rather than unsaturated fats indicates that it is very likely acting by reducing the aging process itself at its physiological core 1 0 2
