Phosphatidylcholines from Pieris brassicae eggs activate an immune response in Arabidopsis

eLife, 2020
Recognition of conserved microbial molecules activates immune responses in plants, a process termed pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). Similarly, insect eggs trigger defenses that impede egg development or attract predators, but information on the nature ...

Elevated Free Phosphatidylcholine Levels in Cerebrospinal Fluid Distinguish Bacterial from Viral CNS Infections

Cells, 2021
The identification of CSF biomarkers for bacterial meningitis can potentially improve diagnosis and understanding of pathogenesis, and the differentiation from viral CNS infections is of particular clinical importance.

Hemolysis of Rat Erythrocytes by Replacement of the Natural Phosphatidylcholine by Various Phosphatidylcholines [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1980
Vesicles of a variety of types of phosphatidylcholine have been shown to be suitable donors of phosphatidylcholine to intact rat erythrocytes in the presence of a specific phosphatidylcholine exchange protein. Coincident with the progression of phosphatidylcholine exchange is the onset of hemolysis, occurring at degrees of exchange characteristic for ...

Rapid semi-quantification of triacylglycerols, phosphatidylcholines, and free fatty acids in the rice bran of one grain

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2018
We developed a microplate assay method for determining the contents of triacylglycerols (TAGs), phosphatidylcholines (PCs), and free fatty acids (FFAs) in the rice bran of one grain using enzymatic reactions.

Fasting increases 18:2-containing phosphatidylcholines to complement the decrease in 22:6-containing phosphatidylcholines in mouse skeletal muscle.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Fasting stimulates catabolic reactions in skeletal muscle to survive nutrient deprivation. Cellular phospholipids have large structural diversity due to various polar-heads and acyl-chains that affect many cellular functions. Skeletal muscle phospholipid

The human plasma-metabolome: Reference values in 800 French healthy volunteers; impact of cholesterol, gender and age. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Metabolomic approaches are increasingly used to identify new disease biomarkers, yet normal values of many plasma metabolites remain poorly defined. The aim of this study was to define the "normal" metabolome in healthy volunteers. We included 800 French

Phosphatidylcholine

Biophysical Journal, 1992
Two mono-cis-unsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipid molecules, having very different gel-liquid crystalline phase transition temperatures as a consequence of the relative positions of the double bond, exhibit PC:cholesterol phase diagrams that are very similar to each other and to that obtained previously for a fully saturated PC:cholesterol ...

Differential determination of phospholipase A2 and PAF-acetylhydrolase in biological fluids using fluorescent substrates

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
The purpose of the present study was the development and evaluation of a fluorimetric method for the screening and differential determination of phospholipase A2 and PAF-acetylhydrolase in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and serum.

p73α1, an Isoform of the p73 Tumor Suppressor, Modulates Lipid Metabolism and Cancer Cell Growth via Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase-1

Cells, 2022
Altered lipid metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. p73, a p53 family member, regulates cellular processes and is expressed as multiple isoforms. However, the role of p73 in regulating lipid metabolism is not well-characterized.
