Effect of Nedocromil Sodium on Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Plasma Membrane
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 ...

Stress-Mediated Alteration in Membrane Fluidity Regulates Calcium ATPase Activity in Plasma Membrane of Duodenal Enterocytes of Oophorectomized Rats [PDF]
In a hypogonadal rat model, calcium ATPase (Ca2+-ATPase) activity and membrane fluidity were examined in plasma membrane of duodenal enterocytes under two different stress conditions developed by chemical change (lipid saturation) and physical change ...

The molecular basis of fluidity in membranes [PDF]
Abstract Fluidity as a prominent feature of the phospholipid portion of biological membranes, as well as of model phospholipid bilayer systems, has been detected by numerous physical techniques 1 . However, correlation of this fluidity with biological functions of membranes is, as yet, documented in only a few cases.

Impact of St. John’s wort extract Ze 117 on stress induced changes in the lipidome of PBMC
Background Membrane lipids have an important function in the brain as they not only provide a physical barrier segregating the inner and outer cellular environments, but are also involved in cell signaling.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.
