Sex differences in plasma cholesterol-esterifying activity in rats
Journal of Lipid Research, 1967 Esterification of free cholesterol was investigated after incubation at 37°C of plasma from immature and adult rats of both sexes kept on stock, fat-free, or cholesterol-supplemented diets.

The acyltransferase LYCAT controls specific phosphoinositides and related membrane traffic
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2017 Phosphoinositides (PIPs) control membrane traffic. PIPs have an acyl profile unique among phospholipids. The acyltransferase LYCAT localizes to phosphatidylinositol synthase vesicles, selectively regulates levels and locale of PIPs, and controls related ...

The Stereochemistry of Complex Polyketide Biosynthesis by Modular Polyketide Synthases
Molecules, 2011 Polyketides are a diverse class of medically important natural products whose biosynthesis is catalysed by polyketide synthases (PKSs), in a fashion highly analogous to fatty acid biosynthesis.

The Role of Acyl-Glucose in Anthocyanin Modifications
Molecules, 2014 Higher plants can produce a wide variety of anthocyanin molecules through modification of the six common anthocyanin aglycons that they present. Thus, hydrophilic anthocyanin molecules can be formed and stabilized by glycosylation and acylation.

BAHD or SCPL acyltransferase? What a dilemma for acylation in the world of plant phenolic compounds.
New Phytologist, 2015 Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites involved in several plant growth and development processes, including resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The biosynthetic pathways leading to the vast diversity of plant phenolic products often include

Acute Hypercapnia/Ischemia Alters the Esterification of Arachidonic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid Epoxide Metabolites in Rat Brain Neutral Lipids. [PDF]
, 2020 In the brain, approximately 90% of oxylipins are esterified to lipids. However, the significance of this esterification process is not known. In the present study, we (1) validated an aminopropyl solid phase extraction (SPE) method for separating ...

Downregulation of Fzd6 and Cthrc1 and upregulation of olfactory receptors and protocadherins by dietary beta-carotene in lungs of Bcmo1-/- mice. [PDF]
, 2010 An ongoing controversy exists on beneficial versus harmful effects of high beta-carotene (BC) intake, especially for the lung. To elucidate potential mechanisms, we studied effects of BC on lung gene expression.

High-Density Lipoprotein, Lecithin: Cholesterol Acyltransferase, and Atherosclerosis
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2016 Epidemiological data clearly show the existence of a strong inverse correlation between plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations and the incidence of coronary heart disease.
