(A) Saturated hydrocarbon fatty acids are related with low membrane fluidity, high microviscosity, and low aquaporin functionality. (B) The presence of unsaturated hydrocarbon fatty acids and sterols prevents packing and enhances membrane fluidity, favoring the open state and functionality of aquaporins.
