One of the characteristic properties of lipids is to display a variety of phases, in the presence of water, by the interplay of parameters (temperature, water concentration, lipid composition) that often remain within the range of physiological conditions (see review in reference 1). We wish to summarize here some of the major properties of the lipid-water systems, to report experiments (many o...

Labeled long chain acyl-CoA, aldehyde, and alcohol (16:0) were incubated in the peritoneal cavity of mice bearing Ehrlich ascites cells and the distribution of radioactivity in the acyl, alkyl, and alk-1-enyl moieties of various neutral lipid and phospholipid classes was compared. The results suggested the following metabolic relations. 1. Alkyl glyceryl ethers are precursors of alk-l-enyl glyc...

to evaluate the correlations of the serum concentrations of trace elements with lipids and lipoproteins in water buffalo (bubalus bubalis), the serum concentrations of cholesterol, triglyceride, total lipids, very low density lipoproteins (vldl-cholesterol), low density lipoproteins (ldl-cholesterol) and high density lipoproteins (hdl-cholesterol) and their correlations with serum concentration...

the chemical nature of secretion by the stigma and transmitting tissue in datura stramoniumwas studied by light microscopy using sudan black b, coomasie brilliant blue (cbb), toluidine blue,safranin, and pas. the stigmatic secretion reacted positively for lipids. during development, stigmaticcells became separated and intracellular lipids were transferred to intercellular spaces where theygradu...
