Stress-Mediated Alteration in Membrane Fluidity Regulates Calcium ATPase Activity in Plasma Membrane of Duodenal Enterocytes of Oophorectomized Rats [PDF]
Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences, 2011 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]
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1972 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.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Impact of St. John’s wort extract Ze 117 on stress induced changes in the lipidome of PBMC
Molecular Medicine, 2023 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.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Membrane fluidity effects of estratrienes
Brain Research Bulletin, 2001 Estrogens have demonstrable neuroprotective effects. This fact has lead to the proposed use of estrogens for the prevention and/or treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The exact protective mechanism estrogens provide is not fully understood. In this report, a potential non-genomic mechanism for estratrienes involving alterations in membrane fluidity was ...
