ABCA4 is an N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylethanolamine importer [PDF]
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters comprise a superfamily of proteins, which actively transport a variety of compounds across cell membranes. Mammalian and most eukaryotic ABC transporters function as exporters, flipping or extruding substrates from the cytoplasmic to the extracellular or lumen side of cell membranes.

Lipid metabolism disorders contribute to hepatotoxicity of ICR mice induced by nitrosamines exposure
Health risks caused by crucial environmental carcinogens N-nitrosamines triggered ubiquitous attention. As the liver exerted vital function through metabolic process, lipid metabolism disorders have been confirmed as potential drivers for toxicological ...

Metabolomics to unveil and understand phenotypic diversity between pathogen populations [PDF]
Visceral leishmaniasis is caused by a parasite called Leishmania donovani, which every year infects about half a million people and claims several thousand lives. Existing treatments are now becoming less effective due to the emergence of drug resistance.

Increased ω6-Containing Phospholipids and Primary ω6 Oxidation Products in the Brain Tissue of Rats on an ω3-Deficient Diet. [PDF]
Polyunsaturated fatty acyl (PUFA) chains in both the ω3 and ω6 series are essential for normal animal brain development, and cannot be interconverted to compensate for a dietary deficiency of one or the other.

Phosphatidylethanolamine Levels and Regulation of Phosphatidylethanolamine N- Methyltransferase
The activity of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) N-methyltransferase in liver microsomes, measured using endogenous microsomal PE as a substrate, was elevated 2-fold in the choline-deficient state. However, methyltransferase activity assayed in the presence of a saturating concentration of phosphatidyl-N-mono-methylethanolamine or microsomal PE was ...

Mouse mitochondrial lipid composition is defined by age in brain and muscle [PDF]
Functionality of the lipid rich mitochondrial organelle declines with increased age. Recent advances in lipidomic technologies allowed us to perform a global characterisation of lipid composition in two different tissue types and age ranges.

Identification of biosynthetic precursors for the endocannabinoid anandamide in the rat brain
Anandamide is an endogenous signaling lipid that binds to and activates cannabinoid receptors in the brain and peripheral tissues. The endogenous precursors of anandamide, N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamines (NArPEs), are a family of complex ...
