Expression and secretion of rabbit plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein by Pichia pastoris
The rabbit cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) was expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris by introducing the CETP cDNA under the control of the methanol-inducible alcohol oxidase promoter.

Isolation and physico-chemical characterization of Butea parviflora seed oil
The seeds of Butea parviflora were investigated for oil extraction and the oil was studied for complete physico-chemical properties. The fatty acid profile of the seed oil showed oleic acid (18:1) at 27.5%, linoleic acid (18:2) at 26.4%, palmitic acid ...

Biosynthetic relationships between three rat apolipoprotein B peptides
Rat liver is unique in secreting very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) with three size-isoforms of apolipoprotein B: PI and PIII correspond to B-100 and B-48, respectively, while PII is slightly smaller than PI and has no counterpart in other species ...

Lipids and lipid metabolism in the eye [PDF]
The vertebrate eye is a complex sensory organ consisting of multiple, distinct tissues, each having its own unique biochemical composition, structure, and physiological function. Key among these are the retina, lens, and cornea, working in concert to bring photons of light into the eye, focus them correctly on the retina, and convert their energy into ...
