in understanding lipid digestion, post-absorption metabolism, and physiological processes (e.g., cell division and differentiation, immune function and inflammation); and in metabolic oxidative stress in the animal and lipid peroxidation, necessitates a more compressive assessment of factors affecting the...
In recent years a growing number of evidences indicates that phospholipases and lipid associated molecules, namely glycerolipids, fatty acids, oxilipins and jasmonates, play essential roles in plant resistance (reviewed in3). Plant phospholipases, namely phospholipases A (PLA), catalyse the ...
In the present study, we applied a high-throughput LC–MS approach to determine total lipid composition of C. jejuni under different environmental conditions. Our results indicate that the phospholipid composition of C. jejuni is highly dynamic and varies in response to the aging of the culture,...
This has lead to the hypothesis that the HDL in some individuals might be dysfunctional as an anti-atherogenic agent or perhaps even proatherogenic as a result of the HDL lipid content, particularly that of S1P. In the present study, we addressed this hypothesis by measuring levels of S1P ...
Several methods are used to restore native-like conditions. For example, amphipathic polymers (known as “amphipols”) are used to replace the detergent3. Lipid nanodiscs, surrounded by membrane scaffolding proteins, are used for both functional and structural studies4. Another commonly used method...
Lastly, we show that these effects may be promoted by specific bacterial strains through microbe-derived components or small molecules. Results GF Mice Are Protected from HF Diet-Induced Obesity, in Part by Decreased Dietary Lipid Digestion and Absorption To establish whether GF mice display signs ...
Lipofection has been studied as a means of altering the genetics of cells through lipid mediated gene delivery since at least 1987. Over years, refinements have been made to such lipids to adapt them to more situations. Cationic lipids like DODAC, DOTMA, DDAB, and DOTAP were used in the ...
Proteins are transported among eukaryotic organelles along the cytoskeleton in membrane carriers. The mechanism regarding the motility of carriers and the positioning of organelles is a fundamental question in cell biology that remains incompletely under
The endocannabinoids (eCBs)—the lipid mediators of the ECs—are activators of the cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2). Arachidonoylethanolamide (AEA) (also named anandamide) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) are both well-known eCBs. Meanwhile, other ethanolamide lipid mediators, namely the...
