                   in antibodies. From our point of view, it will be useful to
                   examine the highly important albumins.


                       Albumin: An Intelligent Transporter

                       In numerical terms albumin is the most abundant protein
                   in plasma and assumes a transport function in the blood.
                   However, albumin is no ordinary carrier. It transports fats
                   such as cholesterol, hormones and the toxic yellow pigment

                   bilirubin, a gall bladder product. In addition, it binds mercury
                   and penicillin and other antibiotics. It releases toxins in the
                   liver and carries nutrients and hormones to the requisite des-
                   tinations.
                       The way fats are transported by a protein in the body is of
                   great importance. If fats were not transported by albumin,
                   then all the fat molecules would clump together in the blood
                   and float in an unregulated manner, just like globules of fat in
                   a bowl of soup. That would soon lead to blood-vessel conges-
                   tion and death.

                        Transporter protein in the blood









                      Transport in the body is carried out by means of the blood. The protein
                         that carries various substances in the blood fluid is albumin. It trans-
                           ports cholesterol, fats and toxins such as bilirubin, as well as various
                            hormones and nutrients. It deposits toxins in the liver, and carries
                             nutrients and hormones to the relevant destinations.
