                                    Fat


                 If fat molecules were not transported by albumin, they would stick together
                 and float in the bloodstream in an uncontrolled manner. This would soon lead
                 to blocked blood vessels, organ loss, or even death.




                    Hormones are responsible for the distribution of messages
                 in the body; and they too must have a means of transport. It is
                 again the protein albumin transmitting hormones to the nec-
                 essary locations. If albumin lacked this property of carrying
                 hormones, then no signals, from hunger to thirst, would reach
                 the relevant regions; and all functions concerning the human
                 body, from growth to development, would come to an end.
                 Although it needed water, the body would be unaware of this.
                 Albumin is a protein specially created in order to be able to
                 perform these message-bearing functions and one which liter-
                 ally knows what needs to be transmitted where.
                    Nor are albumin's duties limited to these alone.
                 Nutrients moving in the arteries have to be able to pass
                 through the tissue walls in order to reach the interior
                 cells.  Although the tissue wall has a great many
                                                                       Adnan
