Discovery of Sexual Dimorphisms in Metabolic and Genetic Biomarkers [PDF]
Metabolomic profiling and the integration of whole-genome genetic association data has proven to be a powerful tool to comprehensively explore gene regulatory networks and to investigate the effects of genetic variation at the molecular level.

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

Dietary N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease biliary cholesterol saturation in gallstone disease [PDF]
Because fatty acid composition of biliary phospholipids influences cholesterol secretion into bile, we investigated whether replacement of n-1 monounsaturated or n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in biliary ...

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

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 ...

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Phosphatidylcholine Analogues Containing Monoterpene Acids as Potent Antiproliferative Agents. [PDF]
The synthesis of novel phosphatidylcholines with geranic and citronellic acids in sn-1 and sn-2 positions is described. The structured phospholipids were obtained in high yields (59-87%) and evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against several
