Regulatory effect of gut microbes on blood pressure
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 513-531, December 2022., 2022 The interaction between gut microbiota and hypertension, the genera which affect the blood pressure in taxonomic level, and the commonly used treatments to hypertension based on the gut microbes were summarized in this review. The increases of Lactobacillus, etc.

The role of PAF in immunopathology: From immediate hypersensitivity reactions to fungal defense
BioFactors, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1217-1225, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Platelet‐activating factor (PAF, 1‐alkyl‐2‐acetyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphorylcholine) was discovered when the mechanisms involved in the deposition of immune complex in tissues were being scrutinized in the experimental model of rabbit serum sickness.

Phospholipase A2 Biochemistry [PDF]
Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 2008 The phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) superfamily consists of many different groups of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the sn-2 ester bond in a variety of different phospholipids. The products of this reaction, a free fatty acid, and lysophospholipid have many different important physiological roles.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 569-577, January 2023., 2023 The present study suggests that the intake of total phytosterols (PSs), stigmasterol, ß‐sitosterol, ß‐sitostanol and campestanol were inversely associated with the prevalence of obesity. In addition, lower obesity risk for total PSs and PSs subgroups differed for the gender. These results deserve to be further verified in cohort studies.

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 The role of SMLR1 in lipid metabolism (high fat + cholesterol diet in mice) Abstract Background and Aims The assembly and secretion of VLDL from the liver, a pathway that affects hepatic and plasma lipids, remains incompletely understood. We set out to identify players in the VLDL biogenesis pathway by identifying genes that are co‐expressed with the ...

Secretory Phospholipase A2 [PDF]
Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2004 Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is a growing family of structurally related, disulfide-rich, low molecular weight, lipolytic enzymes with a His-Asp catalytic dyad. sPLA2s are distributed in a wide variety of vertebrate and invertebrate animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses, and there are 10 catalytically active sPLA2 isozymes in mammals.

Phospholipase A2 as a mechanosensor
Biophysical Journal, 1995 Osmotic swelling of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) causes membrane stretching and thus reduces the lateral packing of lipids. This is demonstrated to modulate strongly the catalytic activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) toward a fluorescent phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-[(6-pyren-1-yl)]decanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PPDPC) residing in LUVs ...

Influence of Lipid Heterogeneity and Phase Behavior on Phospholipase A2 Action at the Single Molecule Level [PDF]
Biophys. J. 2010, 98: 1873-1882, 2009 We monitored the action of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) on L- and D-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) Langmuir monolayers by mounting a Langmuir-trough on a wide-field fluorescence microscope with single molecule sensitivity. This made it possible to directly visualize the activity and diffusion behavior of single PLA2 molecules in a heterogeneous ...

Group XV phospholipase A2, a lysosomal phospholipase A2 [PDF]
Progress in Lipid Research, 2011 A phospholipase A₂ was identified from MDCK cell homogenates with broad specificity toward glycerophospholipids including phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylglycerol. The phospholipase has the unique ability to transacylate short chain ceramides.

Detection of virulence factors and beta-lactamase encoding genes among the clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
International Journal of Pharmaceutical Research, 2019, 2019 Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa has emerged as a significant opportunistic bacterial pathogen that causes nosocomial infections in healthcare settings resulting in treatment failure throughout the world. This study was carried out to compare the relatedness between virulence characteristics and \b{eta}-lactamase encoding genes producing Pseudomonas ...
