Increased ω6-Containing Phospholipids and Primary ω6 Oxidation Products in the Brain Tissue of Rats on an ω3-Deficient Diet. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 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 is externalized at the surface of microparticles [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2012 Microparticles (MPs) are membrane-bound vesicles shed normally or as a result of various (pathological) stimuli. MPs contain a wealth of bio-active macromolecules. Aminophospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) is present on the surface of many MPs. As PS and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) are related, yet distinct aminophospholipids, the purpose of this ...

Differential scanning calorimetry of thermotropic phase transitions in vitaminylated lipids: aqueous dispersions of N-biotinyl phosphatidylethanolamines. [PDF]
, 1994 The thermotropic phase behavior of a homologous series of saturated diacyl phosphatidylethanolamines in which the headgroup is N-derivatized with biotin has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry.

Identification of biosynthetic precursors for the endocannabinoid anandamide in the rat brain
Journal of Lipid Research, 2008 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 ...

Phosphatidylethanolamine Levels and Regulation of Phosphatidylethanolamine N- Methyltransferase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1989 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 ...

The effect of fasting and refeeding on the composition and synthesis of triacylglycerols, phosphatidylcholines, and phosphatidylethanolamines in rat liver [PDF]
, 1979 Refeeding a high-sucrose, fat-free diet to fasted rats caused drastic alterations in the fatty acid composition of hepatic diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols, and phosphatidylcholines.

Physiology of cold-acclimation in non-diapausing adults of Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera)
European Journal of Entomology, 2002 Chill tolerance (time of survival at -5°C) increased in non-diapausing (reproducing) adults of Pyrrhocoris apterus after a gradual, 4-week-long decrease in ambient temperature from 25° to 0°C.
