Bioactive sphingolipids: metabolism and function.
Sphingolipids (SLs) are essential constituents of eukaryotic cells. Besides playing structural roles in cellular membranes, some metabolites, including ceramide, sphingosine, and sphingosine-1-phosphate, have drawn attention as bioactive signaling molecules involved in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, senescence, and apoptosis. Understanding the many cell regulatory functions of ...
متن کاملRelationship Between Steroid Hormones and Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative microaerobic curved-rod possessing polar flagella as the motility organ. This bacterium colonizes human gastric epithelium and causes chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers (Graham, 1991; Warren & Marshall, 1983; Wyatt & Dixon, 1988). Via longer periods of colonization in the human stomach, it also contributes to the development of gastric cancer and marginal...
متن کاملSteroid Hormones: Membrane transporters of steroid hormones
The discovery of a plasma membrane ABC protein that exports steroids in yeast highlights the possibility that similar membrane sorting systems in mammalian cells may modulate the access of steroids to their receptors.
متن کاملThe Interaction between Steroid Hormones and Lipid Monolayers on Water
The interaction of progesterone, testosterone, androsterone, and etiocholanolone with insoluble lipid films (cholesterol and saturated hydrocarbons containing either alcohol, ester, acetamide, phosphate, amine, or carboxyl groups) was studied. In addition to surface pressure and surface potential measurements of the surface films, radioactive tracers were used to measure the concentration of ad...
متن کاملSteroid hormones and BDNF.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin abundantly expressed in several areas of the central nervous system (CNS) and is known to induce a lasting potentiation of synaptic efficacy, to enhance specific learning and memory processes. BDNF is one of the key molecules modulating brain plasticity and it affects cognitive deficit associated with aging and neurodegenerative disease...
