Lipids: Alkenones, Polar Lipids, and Ether Lipids
2011This chapter focuses on several classes of polar lipids, including alkenones, which are di-, tri-, and tetra-unsaturated long-chain ketones. These compounds are produced by a restricted number of species of prymnesiophyte algae (coccolithophorid alga Emiliania huxleyi), living over a wide temperature range.

The lipid and non-lipid effects of statins
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2003The 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, more commonly known as statins, are a class of drug widely used for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia in patients with established cardiovascular disease as well as those at high risk of developing atherosclerosis. Their predominant action is to reduce circulating levels of

Analysis of Lipids and Lipid Rafts in Borrelia
2017Lipid rafts are membrane microdomains that are involved in cellular processes such as protein trafficking and signaling processes, and which play a fundamental role in membrane fluidity and budding. The lipid composition of the membrane and the biochemical characteristics of the lipids found within rafts define the ability of cells to form microdomains

Lipid polymorphism and the roles of lipids in membranes
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1986The reasons for lipid diversity in membranes are not understood. Here we review evidence supporting the proposal that factors related to the polymorphic capabilities of lipids provide a rationale for lipid diversity. In particular, the ability of lipids to adopt different polymorphic phases appears to be related to a generalized shape property, where ...

Microbial Lipid Alternatives to Plant Lipids
2019Lipids are in high demand in food production, nutritional supplements, detergents, lubricants, and biofuels. Different oil seeds produced from plants are conventionally extracted to yield lipids. With increasing population and reduced availability of cultivable land, conventional methods of producing lipids alone will not satisfy increasing demand ...

Lipid Structure in Triolein Lipid Droplets
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2014Lipid droplets (LDs) are primary repositories of esterified fatty acids and sterols in animal cells. These organelles originate on the lumenal or cytoplasmic side of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and are released to the cytosol. In contrast to other intracellular organelles, LDs are composed of a mass of hydrophobic lipid esters coved by ...

Lipid polymorphism and protein–lipid interactions
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Reviews on Biomembranes, 1998Non-lamellar-forming lipids play an important role in determining the physical properties of membranes. They affect the activity of membrane proteins and peptides. In addition, peptides which lyse membranes as well as those which promote membrane fusion facilitate the formation of non-lamellar phases, either micelles, cubic or hexagonal phases.
