Fatty acids are integral to the detoxification processes in the liver, where they form part of the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes. They are involved in the synthesis of bile acids, which aid in the emulsification and excretion of fat-soluble toxins. Omega-3 fatty acids, in particular, have been shown to support liver function and enhance the body's detoxification capacity by modulating inflammation and oxidative stress pathways.
