چکیده
sphingosine from ceramides by ceramidase, and the production of sphingosine-l-phosphate from sphingosine by sphingosine kinase. The most abundant types of SM and Cer have structures 1 and 2, respectively, in which the amino nitrogen beqrs a palmitoyl grQup. It has redently b6en demoristrated bY Takahata') that, by incubating PC 12 cells with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-abundant fish oil, the palmitoyl group of SM was exchanged in situ by DHA and modified SM was newly formed. The new molecular species, however,

Human platelets respond differentially to lysophosphatidic acids having a highly unsaturated fatty acyl group and alkyl ether-linked lysophosphatidic acids.
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a physiological agonist that is produced by lysophospholipase D, phospholipase A(1) and phospholipase A(2) in the blood of animals. It exerts diverse biological actions on a broad range of animal cells. Specific receptors for this important agonist have been characterized. In this investigation, for the first time we prepared LPAs having a highly unsaturated fatty...

متن کاملPutative Binding Sites of Dopamine and Arachidonoyl Dopamine to Beta-lactoglobulin: A Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Study
Because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (DA) and arachidonoyl dopamine (AA-DA), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. In this work, we explored the putative binding sites of DA and AA-DA to -lactoglobulin (BLG) as potent carrier. Docking results identified the binding si...
