Changes in brain lipid composition in thiamine deficient rats.
Brain lipid composition was studied in thiamine deficient rats treated with thiamine antimetabolites (oxythiamine: OT, and pyrithiamine: PT) and thiamine deficient diet (TDD). After intraperitoneal injection of OT (40 mg/kg/day) or TDD feeding for 6 days, body weight gain decreased. However, the PT (500 micrograms/kg/day) treated rats or the pair fed control (PFC: TDD + thiamine of 5 mg/kg, i.p...
متن کاملMolecular Composition of the Submicrosomal Membrane Lipid of Rat Brain
Rough-surfaced and light and heavy smooth-surfaced microsomes were isolated from rat brain by means of discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation. Electron microscopically, the rough-surfaced microsomes were characterized by vesicles with ribosomes and the light and heavy smooth-surfaced microsomes by fairly homogeneous membrane features without ribosomes. The rough-surfaced microsomal membr...
متن کاملMacquarimicin A inhibits membrane-bound neutral sphingomyelinase from rat brain.
Ceramide, the product of sphingomyelin (SM) hydrolysis by neutral pH-optimum and magnesium-dependent sphingomyelinase (N-SMase), has been reported to increase in response to several inflammatory stimuli including TNFa and IL-1/3. Thus, it has been suggested that ceramide generation plays an important role in such stimuli-mediated physiological and pathological processes* ~9). Moreover, cell per...
متن کاملMembrane lipid domains in the nervous system.
The structural properties of the lipids forming biological membranes determine a very high level of lateral organization within membranes. Lipid-driven membrane organization allows the segregation of membrane-associated components into membrane lipid domains, now worldwide known as lipid rafts, acting as dynamic platforms for signal transduction, protein processing and membrane turnover. Many p...
متن کاملEffect of dietary docosahexaenoic acid connecting phospholipids on the lipid peroxidation of the brain in mice.
The effect of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n-3) with two lipid types on lipid peroxidation of the brain was investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Each group of female Balb/c mice was fed a diet containing DHA-connecting phospholipids (DHA-PL) or DHA-connecting triacylglycerols (DHA-TG) for 5 wk. Safflower oil was fed as the control. The lipid peroxide level of t...
