Lipids produced by nanophytoplankton, coccolithophores, and phytoflagellates, are more resistant to degradation than those produced by diatoms. The difference in lipid degradability is discussed as a difference in the size of the cell phycosphere. We hypothesize that the lipids of nanophytoplankton ...
Lipids are essential constituents for malignant tumors, as they are absolutely required for tumor growth and dissemination. Provided by the tumor microenvironment (TME) or by cancer cells themselves through activation of de novo synthesis pathways, they
oil is the term generally used to refer to lipids that are liquid at room temperature and of vegetable origin, while fat refers to lipids that are generally solid at room temperature and of animal origin. For example, flaxseed, soybean, and sunflower oils have a melting point...
Most lipids are composed primarily of glycerol and highly unsaturated fatty acids with chains of twelve or more carbon atoms5. Fatty acids produced by microalgae that have carbon chains between C14and C20are usually used to produce biodiesel6. Lipids produced by microalgae that have chains longer t...
The components of each layer are secreted by different glands or cells: most of the TFLL lipid components are secreted by the meibomian glands; the aqueous layer by the lacrimal glands; and the mucin layer by goblet cells or corneal epithelial cells (Garg and Zhang, 2017; Gipson, 2016; ...
Comparative environmental assessment of organic and mineral fertilizers – Case study of BioA fertilizer produced from industrial waste Mineral fertilizers are a powerful tool in guaranteeing world's food supply but their production and use also cause a significant environmental burden. A possible substitu...
Sterols can be synthesized by plants and animals, are called as phyto-sterols (ergosterol麦角固醇and sitosterol谷固醇) and cholesterol individually. Cholesterol is an essential constituent of the cell membrane of every cell. About 80% is produced in the body by the liver. 20% is influenced by ...
The protective effects of normal, functional HDL are mediated by multiple proteins that are replaced or posttranslationally modified during an acute phase response, such as inflammation and tissue injury. The reduced presence and function of protective, anti-inflammatory proteins as well as an ...
Bile acids can affect circulating host lipids by altering fat digestion and systemic hormonal signaling40. They are produced by the host and released into the small intestine, where they promote digestion of fats by facilitating micelle formation, and can also act through receptors like the farnesoid...
Phospholipids are the structural elements of all mem- branes, and can also serve as intracellular messengers of disparate signals.6 In the main, intracellular membranes are constituted by glycerophospholipids produced in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). They can be grouped in two broad classes: the ...
