There are three basic groups of lipids found in foods and in mammalian bodies including humans. Triglycerides, steroids, and phospholipids. Triglycerides are the predominant type of lipids in plant oils and animal fats and are often long-term energy storage molecules. Steroids are a lipid group ...
Lecithin protects the health of your liver several ways8. It's a special type of lipid that prevents fats from accumulating in the liver. Plus lecithin is an important source of the nutrient choline, which has a vital role in liver function. Lecithin is the common name for phosphatidylcholine...
This subcellular localization is believable and may be very important to allow for lipid droplet formation, considering that the “multivesicular bodies” have been proposed to be a precursor structure needed for the formation of type I lipid droplets [23,24]. View article...
Today, 90% of commercially available Lecithin is extracted from soy and sunflower. Lecithin has a dual function in food as an emulsifier and healthy ingredient. Because of its lipid-friendly and hydrophilic properties, Lecithin is used in many foods and many other areas of the industry. ...
Lecithin : cholesterol acyl transfer rate in plasma and its relation to lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in primary hyperlipidemia. Atherosclerosis, 1977: 26; 233-48.Wallentin L, Angelin B, Einarsson K, Leijd B: Lecithin: choles- terol acyl transfer rate in plasma and its relations to ...
- 《Journal of Lipid Research》 被引量: 0发表: 2002年 The activity and metabolism of recombinant lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase in vivo Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT; phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.43) is the plasma enzyme responsible for the formation of the ...
An enzyme that reversibly transfers an acyl residue from a lecithin to cholesterol, forming a 1-acylglycerophosphocholine (a lysolecithin) and a cholesteryl ester; a deficiency of this enzyme leads to accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in plasma resulting in anemia, proteinuria, renal failure,...
When considering the elastic energy of bending per unit area (e) of an incompressible two-dimensional fluid, a model for a lipid bilayer, there is a term within the expression that corresponds to the natural curvature of the phospholipid(s), C0, $$e = \frac{1}{2}K_{C} (C_{1} +...

Planar Lipid Bilayers (BLMs) and Their Applications Hans G.L.Coster, inMembrane Science and Technology, 2003 2.1Self Assembly There are numerous different kinds of lipid molecules but they all share the feature that they are amphipathic; one region of the molecule is polar and hydrophilic whilst...
