Ultrastructural changes in the silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) seeds during germination

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 1989
Ultrastructural changes in the embryo, and separately in the endosperm, before and after the radicle protrusion of the silver fir seeds (Abies alba Mill.) were studied.

Channel-forming activities in the glycosomal fraction from the bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Glycosomes are a specialized form of peroxisomes (microbodies) present in unicellular eukaryotes that belong to the Kinetoplastea order, such as Trypanosoma and Leishmania species, parasitic protists causing severe diseases of livestock and ...

MICROBODIES IN EXPERIMENTALLY ALTERED CELLS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 1967
A rapid and sustained increase in the number of microbodies in liver and kidney cells can be induced in male rats by ethyl chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB), a hypolipidemic drug. This phenomenon permits investigation of several aspects of microbody behavior in experimental conditions.

Cloning and mutational analysis of human malonyl-coenzyme A decarboxylase

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
Malonyl coenzyme A (CoA) decarboxylase (E.C.4. 1.1.9) catalyzes the conversion of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA. The metabolic role of malonyl CoA decarboxylase has not been fully defined, but deficiency of the enzyme has been associated with mild mental ...

LOCALIZATION OF ENZYMES WITHIN MICROBODIES [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 1973
Microbodies from rat liver and a variety of plant tissues were osmotically shocked and subsequently centrifuged at 40,000 g for 30 min to yield supernatant and pellet fractions. From rat liver microbodies, all of the uricase activity but little glycolate oxidase or catalase activity were recovered in the pellet, which probably contained the crystalline

A quantitative analysis of fine structure and drug metabolism in livers of clofibrate-treated young adult and retired breeder rats

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1978
The effects of clofibrate on the fine structure and drug-metabolizing capacity of livers of normolipidemic young adult virgin (YA) and hypercholesterolemic retired breeder (RB) male rats were measured by morphometric and biochemical procedures.

'Elaioplasts' identified as lipotubuloids in Althaea rosea, Funkia sieboldiana and Vanilla planifolia contain lipid bodies connected with microtubules

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
"Elaioplasts" observed in Vanilla planifolia, Funkia Sieboldiana and Althaea rosea exhibit all the features characteristic of lipotubuloids earlier described in Ornithogalum umbellatum.

Characterization of the GPR1/FUN34/YaaH protein family in the green microalga Chlamydomonas suggests their role as intracellular membrane acetate channels

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2019
The unicellular green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a powerful photosynthetic model organism which is capable of heterotrophic growth on acetate as a sole carbon source.

Proteins and lipids of glycosomal membranes from Leishmania tarentolae and Trypanosoma brucei [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/x1]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
In kinetoplastid protists, several metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and purine salvage, are located in glycosomes, which are microbodies that are evolutionarily related to peroxisomes.

Hepatic fine structure in young and aging rats treated with oxandrolone: a morphometric study

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1975
Hepatic fine structural alterations induced by shortterm administration of the hypolipidemic drug oxandrolone were evaluated using morphometric techniques. These changes are described in the livers of normolipidemic young adult and hyperlipidemic retired
