Hydrophilic spacer groups in polymerizable lipids: formation of biomembrane models from bulk polymerized lipids

Tumor lipids: characterization of the lipids isolated from membranous material.

Membranous material was prepared from Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells by tonal centrifugation. The distribution of fatty acids among the individual neutral lipid and phospholipid classes isolated from the membrane preparation was determined. Survey electron microscopy indicated that the preparations consisted of vesicles of rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomal-like structures, virus-...

Aqueous gel formation from sodium salts of cellobiose lipids.

Cellobiose lipids (CLs) are asymmetric bolaform biosurfactants, which are produced by Cryptococcus humicola JCM 10251 and have fungicidal activity. In this study, the sodium salts of CLs (CLNa) were prepared to improve aqueous solubility of the CLs, and their surface and gelation properties in aqueous solutions were examined by surface tension, rheology, and freeze-fracture transmission electro...

Evolution of Lipids – Lipids in Evolution

No Association between Serum Lipids Levels and Lipids Oxidizability in Type 2 Diabetes

Objective: Diabetes is the most common metabolic disease. One of the most common problems in diabetic patients is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease which induced by hyperlipidemia. Also there has been currently great interest in the potential contribution of oxidative stress in development of diabetes complications. The present study was performed to associate between lipid oxidizability a...

From Lipids to Inflammation

Circulation Research is available at http://circres.ahajournals.org DOI: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.115.306471 Abstract: The introduction of statins ≈30 years ago ushered in the era of lipid lowering as the most effective way to reduce risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Nonetheless, residual risk remains high, and statin intolerance is frequently encountered in clinical practice. After a l...
