= Membrane stabilizing effect
{wiki=Membrane_stabilizing_effect}
The membrane stabilizing effect refers to the ability of certain substances to protect cell membranes and maintain their integrity under various conditions. This effect can be particularly important in biological systems, where membrane integrity is crucial for cellular function, survival, and overall homeostasis. Several factors can contribute to membrane destabilization, including physical stress, oxidative stress, temperature fluctuations, and the presence of harmful substances or toxins.
