The biological action of saponins in animal systems: a review
TL;DR: Saponins are steroid or triterpenoid glycosides, common in a large number of plants and plant products that are important in human and animal nutrition and they have also been found to significantly affect growth, feed intake and reproduction in animals.

Synergistic effects of diacylglycerols and fatty acids on membrane structure and protein kinase C activity.
TL;DR: Because a wide range of lipophilic compounds is capable of altering curvature stress, and therefore the tendency for nonbilayer phase formation in cellular membranes, these compounds would be expected to modulate PKC activity and the activities of a number of other membrane-associated enzymes that are sensitive to biophysical properties of lipid membranes.
