To evaluate the concentrations of serum lipids and lipoproteins and their correlations together and withthyroid hormones in gray necked ostrich (Struthio camelus), the serum levels 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 tri-i...

Plastoglobules are plastid compartments designed for the storage of neutral lipids. They share physical and structural characteristics with cytosolic lipid droplets. Hence, special care must be taken to avoid contamination by droplets during plastoglobule purification. We describe isolation pure plastoglobules from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, methods we use determine their composition. After p...

Lateral diffusion of lipids in biological membranes may be influenced by polypeptides, proteins, and other nonlipid membrane constituents. Using concepts from scaled-particle theory, we extend the free-volume model for lipid diffusion to membranes having an arbitrarily large number of components. This theory clarifies the interpretation of the free-volume theory, better reproduces the free-area...

Lipids in liver wet and dry matter, liver moist and dry matter and their relationships were investigated based on species, sex and age in cows, buffaloes, sheep and goats. Mean percentage of lipids in liver wet and dry matter and liver dry matter in cows were 3.60%, 1.10%, 29.70%, and for buffaloes were 5.30%, 1.55%, 29.20%, sheep 3.00%, 0.83%, 27.90%, and goats 2.910%, 1.55% and 28.40%, respec...

An attempt is being made to determine the relation of the serum lipids to the progression of human atherosclerosis. The serum lipids are estimated serially during life and are compared with the degree of atherosclerosis found post mortem. The findings in the first 50 fatalities in the series of 800 patients are reported. The results make a poor case for the effect of derangements of the serum l...
