Phospholipids and Sulpholipids

Phospholipids and their metabolism.

Phospholipids and sports performance

Phospholipids are essential components of all biological membranes. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and Phosphatidylserine (PS) are Phosphatidyl-phospholipids that are required for normal cellular structure and function. The participation in physical activity often challenges a variety of physiological systems; consequently, the ability to maintain normal cellular function during activity can determin...

Serum Phospholipids

Serum phospholipid levels were determined in 1,067 healthy persons aged 2 to 77 years. Phospholipid levels increased with age but in a different way for each of the sexes. The age-sex changes of serum phospholipids were similar to those observed for serum cholesterol. Correlation coefficients in members of 156 families indicated that the genetic factor is of importance in determining the serum ...

Inositol phospholipids and cell regulation.

The increased turnover of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) in response to activation of cell-surface receptors was discovered by Hokin & Hokin (1953). The structures of the so-called polyphosphoinositides, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (Ptdlns4P) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2], were not elucidated until the next decade, but their metabolic importance was suggested by ...

Ab initio and charge study of phospholipids in gas phase and solution

phospholipids are important for the biological lipid and are commonly used in biophysical studies.A quantumcalculation for two phospholipids Dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine and dipalmitoylphosphatidic acidwere performed using the abinitio software. Geometry optimization structures were obtained at RHF level using3-21G, 6-31G*. These basis sets were used To understanding the effects of envir...
