What is lipid bolsters not permeable to?

Lipid bilayers are primarily impermeable to polar and charged molecules, such as ions (e.g., sodium, potassium) and large polar molecules (e.g., glucose). This impermeability is due to the hydrophobic core of the bilayer, which repels substances that cannot easily dissolve in or pass through the lipid environment. Consequently, these molecules typically require specific transport proteins or channels to cross the membrane.
