Journal of Lipid Research, 2004 We reported that phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) deficiency decreased atherosclerosis in mouse models. Because the decreased atherosclerosis was accompanied by a significant decrease in plasma HDL levels, we examined the properties of PLTP knockout (

The cholesterol-raising diterpenes from coffee beans increase serum lipid transfer protein activity levels in humans [PDF]
, 1997 Cafestol and kahweol–diterpenes present in unfiltered coffee— strongly raise serum VLDL and LDL cholesterol and slightly reduce HDL cholesterol in humans. The mechanism of action is unknown.

Phospholipid synthesis inside phospholipid membrane vesicles
Communications Biology, 2022 AbstractConstruction of living artificial cells from genes and molecules can expand our understanding of life system and establish a new aspect of bioengineering. However, growth and division of cell membrane that are basis of cell proliferation are still difficult to reconstruct because a high-yielding phospholipid synthesis system has not been ...

Microbial community dynamics during composting of sewage sludge and straw studied through phospholipid and neutral lipid analysis [PDF]
, 2008 The composting process involves a succession of different communities of microorganisms that decompose the initial material, transforming it into a stable final product. In thiswork, the levels of phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), neutral lipid fatty acid (

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001 The central region of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), spanning residues 143–165, has been implicated in lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activation and also in high density lipoprotein (HDL) structural rearrangements.

The phospholipids of corynebacteria [PDF]
Lipids, 1971 AbstractThe phospholipids ofCorynebacterium diphtheriae, Corynebacterium xerosis, Corynebacterium equi andCorynebacterium ovis were examined, largely by chromatographic procedures. In all of these, lipids of the phosphoinositide and mannophosphoinositide type were prominent.

Nanomechanical properties of phospholipid microbubbles [PDF]
, 2012 This study uses atomic force microscopy (AFM) force-deformation (F-Delta) curves to investigate for the first time the Young's modulus of a phospholipid microbubble (MB) ultrasound contrast agent. The stiffness of the MBs was calculated from the gradient

Journal of Cell Biology, 2020 All lipid transport proteins in eukaryotes are thought to shuttle lipids between cellular membranes. In this issue, Li et al. (2020. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202001161) show that Vps13 has a channel-like domain that may allow lipids to flow between closely apposed membranes at contact sites.
