Ok, I'm gonna give this a shot at defining why essential fatty acids (EFA's) are important for NBE, any car buffs Lol?.

EFA's are like lubricants for car parts (e.g. molecules, steroids, DNA synthesis etc). They help help carry hormones to receptors, in other words, once they arrive at the cell membranes they (EFA's) make them more bioavailable. Soooo.....using these fat solubles supplements keep us squeaky, get it.

We should find how this enzyme palmitoyl-acyl-transferases works.

I think I found something that could help improve upon palmitoyl-acyl-transferases. It's called "Acetyl-L-carnitine"

Acetyl-L-carnitine or ALCAR, is an acetylated form of L-carnitine. It is naturally produced by the body, although it is often taken as a dietary supplement. Acetylcarnitine is broken down in the blood by plasmaesterases to carnitine which is used by the body to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria for breakdown.[2]
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcarnitine

in the paper above, it says: These E2 rapid effects require a population of the ERα located at the cell plasma membrane through palmitoylation, a dynamic enzymatic modification mediated by palmitoyl-acyl-transferases.

We should find how this enzyme palmitoyl-acyl-transferases works, if you want to gain estrogen activity (and maybe is not enough, as you see our bodies are quite complicated... )
indeed from your link: "E2 reduces both ERalpha palmitoylation and its interaction with caveolin-1, in a time- and dose-dependent manner"
So, if you want you can increase estrogen receptor expression, but there is a negative feedback as well from estradiol. This is good for the body, to regulate his pathways....and try to keep some equilibrium. We just want to move some of it to favor breast growth, and if estrogen receptor is stronger than negative feedback of estradiol, than it should be worthy the way of palmitoylation.
