Sphingomyelin Exhibits Greatly Enhanced Protection Compared With Egg Yolk Phosphatidylcholine Against Detergent Bile Salts 1

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2000
Inclusion of phosphatidylcholine within bile salt micelles protects against bile salt-induced cytotoxicity. In addition to phosphatidylcholine, bile may contain significant amounts of sphingomyelin, particularly under cholestatic conditions.

New Insights into the Loss of Antioxidant Effectiveness of Phenolic Compounds in Vegetable Oils in the Presence of Phosphatidylcholine

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2023
It has been proposed that lipid oxidation reactions in edible oils primarily occur in reverse micelles (RM) of amphiphilic components. While the prooxidative effect of RM has been demonstrated, the mechanism involved is not fully understood.

In Vitro Growth Conditions Boost Plant Lipid Remodelling and Influence Their Composition

open access: yesCells, 2021
Acyl-lipids are vital components for all life functions of plants. They are widely studied using often in vitro conditions to determine inter alia the impact of genetic modifications and the description of biochemical and physiological functions of ...

Phosphatidylcholine Liposomes Down-Modulate CD4 Expression Reducing HIV Entry in Human Type-1 Macrophages

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
A strategy adopted to combat human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection is based on interfering with virus entry into target cells. In this study, we found that phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes reduced the expression of the CD4 receptor in ...

Impact of Vitamin D3 Deficiency on Phosphatidylcholine-/Ethanolamine, Plasmalogen-, Lyso-Phosphatidylcholine-/Ethanolamine, Carnitine- and Triacyl Glyceride-Homeostasis in Neuroblastoma Cells and Murine Brain

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Vitamin D3 hypovitaminosis is associated with several neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis but also with other diseases such as cancer, diabetes or diseases linked to inflammatory processes ...

Effect of phosphatidylcholine molecular species on the uptake of HDL triglycerides and cholesteryl esters by the liver.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1993
It has previously been shown that the hydrolysis of high density lipoprotein (HDL) phospholipids by hepatic lipase promotes the hepatic uptake of triglyceride and cholesteryl ester from HDL.

Effects of hydrophobicity on turnover of plasma high density lipoproteins labeled with phosphatidylcholine ethers in the rat

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1991
Rat high density lipoproteins (HDL) were labeled with a series of phosphatidylcholines and ether analogs of phosphatidylcholine. The rates of turnover of the phosphatidylcholine ethers in the rat decreased as a function of increasing hydrophobicity and ...

In Vitro Hepatitis C Virus Infection and Hepatic Choline Metabolism

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Choline is an essential nutrient required for normal neuronal and muscular development, as well as homeostatic regulation of hepatic metabolism. In the liver, choline is incorporated into the main eukaryotic phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine (PC), and ...

An Approach to Minimize Tumour Proliferation by Reducing the Formation of Components for Cell Membrane

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Isoprenoids are natural compounds essential for a great number of cellular functions. One of them is farnesol (FOH), which can reduce cell proliferation, but its low solubility in aqueous solvents limits its possible clinical use as a pharmacological ...
