Therefore, cholesterol may regulate PIP2 differently in various cell types.Compartmentalization and regulation of PIP2 metabolism within the plasma membrane may contribute to differences observed between cell types (Epand, 2008; Kwiatkowska, 2010). Cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains (lipid rafts), ...
Thus, this study evaluated the effect of EB or SB on adult energy, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. 10 healthy women (BMI: 23.2, SD: 1.4) were recruited after giving informed consent. Each subject participated in a randomised crossover trial which encompassed two 14-day intervention periods;...
Changes in lipid metabolism contribute to malignant transformation by promoting the “hallmarks of cancer”, and such metabolic changes can be caused by e.g. elevated cholesterol levels and obesity [1,2]. Obesity and dysregulated lipid homeostasis are connected to increased risk of breast cancer and...
Primary Function: Key mineral found in teeth and bones; major player in energy metabolism Food Sources: Milk, eggs, whole wheat bread, almonds, lentils, carbonated beverages Other Key Points: Major constituent of bones. Deficiency is rare. Phosphate supplementation by athletes has been shown to in...

Bacterial lipoproteins possess fatty acids at their amino-termini that are derived from phospholipids, and this lipid moiety anchors the proteins into the membrane. These lipids, as is the case for lipopolysaccharides and lipoteichoic acids, play an important role in signaling of the innate immune ...
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a major cause of disability and death worldwide. Most therapeutic approaches target traditional risk factors but ignore the fundamental role of the immune system. This is a huge unmet need. Recent evidence indica
helping them to stay thin. Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco found that mice without the gene for MGAT2 can eat whatever they want without getting fat. The results suggest that the enzyme has a pivotal role in lipid metabolism in the small intestine, and curbing MG...
If you've spent any time scrolling through the health and wellness corners of social media, you've likely come across many products claiming to improve your metabolism. But what exactly is your metabolism? Ad Everything you expose your body to—from lifestyle to an airborne virus—influences ...
According to researchers from Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, PPARA is a gene encoding a protein that is a key regulator of lipid metabolism and activates hepatic autophagy. In the study, the Chinese researchers hypothesized that PPARA regulates autophagy in the nervous sys...
