Maternal Lipid Metabolism and Placental Lipid Transfer

Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2006
During early pregnancy, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) may accumulate in maternal fat depots and become available for placental transfer during late pregnancy, when the fetal growth rate is maximal and fetal requirements for LC-PUFAs are greatly enhanced.

Polarization Transfer in Lipid Membranes

Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 2000
Polarization transfer is a key experiment for the detection of insensitive nuclei by NMR. Transfer in liquids is often achieved through J-coupling using the INEPT experiment, while in solids the dipolar coupling is used with cross polarization. Liquid crystals, including lipid membranes, are intermediate cases between solids and liquids. In the present

Sterol carrier and lipid transfer proteins

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1985
The discovery of the sterol carrier and lipid transfer proteins was largely a result of the findings that cells contained cytosolic factors which were required either for the microsomal synthesis of cholesterol or which could accelerate the transfer or exchange of phospholipids between membrane preparations.

Lipid transfer proteins

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1993
This article reviews recent data suggesting that many intracellular and extracellular lipid transfers formerly considered to be spontaneous may be catalyzed by lipid-binding transfer proteins.

Respiratory Allergy to Lipid Transfer Protein

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2008
<i>Background:</i> Due to unclear reasons, allergy to lipid transfer protein (LTP) is frequent in Mediterranean countries but rare in Northern Europe. <i>Objective:</i> We report a paradigmatic case of primarily airborne sensitization to LTP that might explain the geographical distribution of this type of food allergy.

Lipid Transfer Proteins

2003
Proteins capable of transferring lipids between membranes in vitro have been purified from a wide range of living organisms.The best known proteins of this category in higher plants are lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) which are able to transfer several different phospholipids between membranes and to bind fatty acids and acyl-CoA esters (Yamada, 1992 ...

LIPID-TRANSFER PROTEINS IN PLANTS

Annual Review of Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology, 1996
▪ Abstract  Lipid-transfer proteins (LTP) are basic, 9-kDa proteins present in high amounts (as much as 4% of the total soluble proteinss) in higher plants. LTPs can enhance the in vitro transfer of phospholipids between membranes and can bind acyl chains.

Lipidic Vector Systems for Gene Transfer

Critical Reviews™ in Therapeutic Drug Carrier Systems, 1997
Clinical application of gene therapy depends on the development of suitable gene transfer vehicles (vectors). Although generally not as efficient as viral vectors, nonviral systems such as lipidic vectors have the potential advantages of being less toxic, nonrestrictive in cargo DNA size, potentially targetable, and easy to produce in relatively large ...

Binding of Lipids on Lipid Transfer Proteins

1997
LTPs transfer phospholipids between membranes “in vitro” (1). Plant LTPs are still in search of an “in vivo” role. These proteins share in common structural and functional properties (1). NMR and X-ray crystallography have been carried out on plant LTPs.

Lipid transfer proteins (LTP) and atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis, 2005
This review deals with four lipid transfer proteins (LTP): three are involved in cholesteryl ester (CE) synthesis or transport, the fourth deals with plasma phospholipid (PL) transfer. Experimental models of atherosclerosis, clinical and epidemiological studies provided information as to the relationship of these LTP(s) to atherosclerosis, which is the
