Though they are an exception, the Inuit traditionally ate a very high fat diet from coldwater mammals like walrus and obtained omega - 3 fatty acids from it and fish oil and had a very low incidence of cardiovascular disease. It has been determined that they have a genetic disposition to be able to survive if not thrive on this diet. Modern man, on the other hand normally cannot survive on a high fat diet as it will most likely lead to heart disease due to increased cholesterol. Interestingly enough though is Dr Atkins diet which is a low carb relatively high fat diet.

Answer: The action of a neurotransmitter at the postsynaptic cell is terminated by the following: enzymatic degradation, diffusion or reuptake into the presynaptic cell by specific transporters.
Explanation: After a neurotransmitter has bound to its receptor on the postsynaptic membrane and triggered a biological response, in order to avoid over stimulation of the receptors, the neurotransmitter is either degraded by specific enzymes or taken back to the presynaptic cell into the synaptic vesicles by action of specific transporters. This mechanism is to maintain a balance (homeostasis).
