Central mechanisms mediating the hypophagic effects of oleoylethanolamide and N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines: different lipid signals? [PDF]

, 2015
The spread of "obesity epidemic" and the poor efficacy of many anti-obesity therapies in the long-term highlight the need to develop novel efficacious therapy. This necessity stimulates a large research effort to find novel mechanisms controlling feeding

Physiological roles of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase [PDF]

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2013
Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) catalyzes the methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine (PC). This 22.3 kDa protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria associated membranes of liver. The supply of the substrates AdoMet and phosphatidylethanolamine, and the product AdoHcy, can regulate the ...

Harnessing ferroptosis from multilayer defense networks to nanoplatforms for specific cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials target metabolically‐regulated ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Iron‐based or alternative nanoplatforms integrate ferroptosis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. They enable stimulus‐responsive therapies (photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic) activated by near‐infrared, light, or ultrasound, achieving potent synergistic ...

Enzymatic measurement of phosphatidylserine in cultured cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a quantitatively minor membrane phospholipid involved in diverse cellular functions. In this study, we developed a new fluorometric method for measuring PS using combinations of specific enzymes and Amplex Red.

Importance of Lipid Composition in the Membrane Dynamics of Urothelial Umbrella Cells [PDF]

, 2014
The studies on membrane dynamics in urinary bladder umbrella cells were focused on proteins as important factors for maintaining the permeability barrier and their role as pathways modulators for the discoidal/fusiform endocytic vesicles which is one of ...

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

N-aldehyde-modified phosphatidylethanolamines generated by lipid peroxidation are robust substrates of N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D

Journal of Lipid Research
N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD) hydrolyzes phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) where the headgroup nitrogen has been enzymatically modified with acyl chains of four carbons or longer (N-acyl-PEs or NAPEs).

Phospholipides containing amino acids other than serine. I. Detection [PDF]

, 1957
In view of the widespread occurrence of the amino acid-containing lipides and the unique course of their metabolism during development of Drosophila, we have carried out extensive investigations concerned with their isolation and chemical nature.
