Decreased erythrocyte membrane fluidity and altered lipid composition in human liver disease.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1982
Abnormal plasma lipoproteins in patients with liver disease are associated with characteristic changes in erythrocyte membrane lipid composition. The membranes are enriched in cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine and both the cholesterol/phospholipid and ...

The effect of alcohols on red blood cell mechanical properties and membrane fluidity depends on their molecular size. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The role of membrane fluidity in determining red blood cell (RBC) deformability has been suggested by a number of studies. The present investigation evaluated alterations of RBC membrane fluidity, deformability and stability in the presence of four ...

Effects of docosahexaenoic acid on annular lipid fluidity of the rat bile canalicular plasma membrane

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2001
The role of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the fluidity of the annular lipid regions and their associated membrane-bound proteins is still not as well understood as that in the global (bulk) lipid regions.

Exogenous fatty acids affect membrane properties and cold adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen that can grow at very low temperatures close to the freezing point of food and other matrices. Maintaining cytoplasmic membrane fluidity by changing its lipid composition is indispensable for growth at low ...

Functionalized Graphene Quantum Dots Modulate Malignancy of Glioblastoma Multiforme by Downregulating Neurospheres Formation

open access: yesC, 2021
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive brain cancer. We previously demonstrated the effect of biocompatible surface functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) on GBM cells as chemotherapy enhancers in combination with the antitumor drug ...

Effect of Nedocromil Sodium on Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Plasma Membrane

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 1994
The effect of nedocromil sodium on the plasma membrane fluidity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) was investigated by measuring steady-state fluorescence anisotropy of 1-[4-trimethylammonium-phenyl]-6-phenyl- 1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH) incorporated ...
