Rho signaling participates in membrane fluidity homeostasis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Preservation of both the integrity and fluidity of biological membranes is a critical cellular homeostatic function. Signaling pathways that govern lipid bilayer fluidity have long been known in bacteria, yet no such pathways have been identified in ...

Membrane Fluidity Regulation: From C. elegans to mammalian cells [PDF]
, 2020 Biological membranes are primarily an assembly of lipids and proteins. Collectively, these constituents within a phospholipid bilayer determine the physical membrane properties such as fluidity, viscosity, thickness, packing and permeability. Maintenance

Supplementation of iron alone and combined with vitamins improves haematological status, erythrocyte membrane fluidity and oxidative stress in anaemic pregnant women [PDF]
, 2010 Pregnancy is a condition exhibiting increased susceptibility to oxidative stress, and Fe plays a central role in generating harmful oxygen species. The objective of the present study is to investigate the changes in haematological status, oxidative ...

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

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