Lipid soluble substances can enter a cell by dissolving in the lipid portion of the membrane and diffusing through it. The greater the lipid solubility, the more readily a molecule will pass through the membrane, i.e., the greater will be the flux for a given concentration difference. The oil-water partition coefficient (solubility in oil/solubility in water) gives a useful measure of lipid solubility. 4, record 1, English, - oil%2Fwater%20distribution%20ratio

The coefficient of oil/water distribution [is] also called the partition coefficient (abbreviated as P) ... The P value is typically presented as a logarithm of P (log P). It indicates how easily a chemical can be absorbed into or stored in fatty tissues in the body. The P value is also used to help determine the fate of the chemical in the environment through its tendency to partition into the water, soil and living organisms. 8, record 1, English, - oil%2Fwater%20distribution%20ratio

partition coefficient: this term is not recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and should not be used as a synonym for "distribution coefficient" or "distribution ratio." 1, record 1, English, - oil%2Fwater%20distribution%20ratio
