Abstract

Somatic cells at the early stages of phylogenesis realized the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids (FA), primarily palmitic saturated FA. It dominated the construction of a bilayer cell membrane and as a substrate for oxidation in mitochondria during energy production. Later, polyene FAs became involved in the construction of the cell membrane, the membranes of intracellular organelles, and became the substrate for the synthesis of biologically active eicosanoids. At later stages of phylogenesis, the metabolism of medium-chain FAs is activated and the formation of ketone bodies as a substrate, which is available for oxidation by the mitochondria of the formed cells of the nervous tissue in the absence of first substrate glucose. In the later stages of phylogenesis, insulin initiated: a) the transformation of carnivorous ancestors of the species Homo sapiens in the ocean into a herbivorous species while living on land; b) the formation of the new biological function of locomotion and c) the dominance of the oleic variant of the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids with higher kinetic parameters of mitochondria oxidation. Metabolites of medium chain FA have become humoral mediators of metabolism and the formation of feedback mechanisms in the function of trophology and cognitive biological function. The formation of an oleic variant of the metabolism of fatty acids under the action of insulin led to the improvement of the energy supply of cells and the high kinetic parameters of many species of herbivorous mammals, including Homo sapiens. The species Homo sapiens was not omnivorous (Omnivores); the insulin's regulatory action during life on land has turned it into a herbivorous species (Herbivore), but with a carnivorous (Carnivore) (fish-eating) past. Seven metabolic pandemics (1. atherosclerosis and atheromatosis; 2. metabolic arterial hypertension; 3. metabolic syndrome; 4. insulin resistance syndrome; 5. obesity; 6. nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and 7. endogenous hyperuricemia) are only functional disorders and can be, in most cases, eliminated. From the standpoint of the phylogenetic theory of general pathology, atherosclerosis and atheromatosis of the arteries have no great future. As soon, as the majority of individuals of the Homo sapiens species realize that in phylogenesis they have formed as herbivores and stop eating excessive amounts of meat food, exogenous palmitic FA, the incidence in the population will begin to decrease. Patients are still obliged to justify the binary, biological name of the species - reasonable man. Prevention and other metabolic pandemics, diseases of civilization, can be discussed. It takes time, an understanding of what happens by the doctors, diligence and the desire of patients to be healthy.
