What was found out by the polish biochemist in lorenzos oil?

The Polish biochemist helped them realize that erucic acid was an important element that needed to be used in their oil. However, he also told them that nobody would help them work with it, because the risk factor is too great. He tells them that erucic acid can causes cardiac problems, cholesterol deposits in the adrenal gland, and damage to the reproductive system. check the scene out on youtube here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66OKZGeLncs&feature=PlayList&p=B5FB1549DC66C593&index=9


What is the meaning of the paper clips in lorenzo's oil?

The paper clips in lorenzo's oil are used to represent the long chain fatty acids (the c-26's i believe). the other clips are used to show the bad acids in lorenzos blood.Augusto tries to use them to figure out why, when one increases, the other decreases. he finds out that they are from the same enzyme, so the enzyme will create the same amount either way, but the increase of one will decrease the other. i.e. ---------- ----- is the same amt of dashes as ------- -------- both are 15 total, but the numbers in each chain can be manipulated. hope i helped.
