For example the protein component may be as high as 80% in Erythrocytes, and as low as 18% in myelinated neurones. Alternately, the lipid component may be as high as 80% in myelinated neurones, and as low as 15% in skeletal muscle fibres. The initial model for membrane structure was proposed by Danielli and Davson in the late 1930s. They suggested that the plasma ... is cholesterol. There may be as many cholesterol molecules in a membrane as there are phospholipid molecules. Cholesterol orientates in such a way that it significantly affects the fluidity of the membrane. In regions of high cholesterol content, permeability is greatly restricted so that even the smallest molecules can no longer cross the membrane. This is advantageous in localised regions of membrane. Cholesterol also acts as a very efficient cryoprotectant, ...

- ... supported by field studieswhich have shown the long-range effects of televised violence. A study at the University of Illinois found that children who watched many hours of television violence when they were in elementary school tended to also show a higher level of aggression when they became teenagers. By observing these youngsters until they reached the age of thirty, it was found that the ones who had watched a lot of television when they were in school were more likely to be arrested or prosecuted for criminal acts as adults (Feshbach 233). The number of children that have access to these violent acts is astonishing. In 1950, only 10% of American homes ... spend more time learning about life through media than than through any other manner.
