The prolate-to-oblate shape transition of phospholipid vesicles in response to frequency variation of an AC electric field can be explained by the dielectric anisotropy of a phospholipid bilayer [PDF]
, 2007 The external electric field deforms flaccid phospholipid vesicles into spheroidal bodies, with the rotational axis aligned with its direction. Deformation is frequency dependent: in the low frequency range (~ 1 kHz), the deformation is typically prolate,

Phospholipid Scramblases [PDF]
Lipid Insights, 2015 The distribution of phospholipid types between the two leaflets of a membrane bilayer is a controlled feature of membrane structure. One of the two membrane catalytic activities governing this distribution randomizes the composition of the two leaflets–-the phospholipid scramblases.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Not all of the mysteries of life lie in our genetic code. Some can be found buried in our membranes. These shells of fat, sculpted in the central nervous system into the cellular (and subcellular) boundaries of neurons and glia, are themselves complex ...

Three-year tracking of fatty acid composition of plasma phospholipids in healthy children [PDF]
, 2007 Objectives: The fatty acid composition of plasma phospholipids reflects the dietary fatty acid intake as well as endogenous turnover. We aimed at investigating the potential tracking of plasma phospholipid fatty acid composition in children that ...

P4-ATPases as Phospholipid Flippases—Structure, Function, and Enigmas
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 P4-ATPases comprise a family of P-type ATPases that actively transport or flip phospholipids across cell membranes. This generates and maintains membrane lipid asymmetry, a property essential for a wide variety of cellular processes such as vesicle ...

The effect of desiccation on viability and membrane lipid composition of Acer pseudoplatanus seeds
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The viability of desiccation-intolerant sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) seeds during desiccation was investigated by tetrazolium and by a germinability test, together with membrane permeability and membrane phospholipid composition.

Association between cholesterol-phospholipid vesicles and cholesterol crystals in human gallbladder bile [PDF]
, 1989 Rapid aggregation of cholesterol-phospholipid vesicles in gallbladder bile seems to be the first event in the production of cholesterol crystals, a prerequisite for cholesterol gallstone formation.

Phospholipids as ionophores. [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1976 The ionophoretic capabilities of phospholipids have been examined by direct measurement in a Pressman cell of the phospholipid-mediated translocation of cations across an organic phase separating two aqueous phases. Cardiolipin and phosphatidic acid were the most active inonophores among the phospholipids tested, with activities comparable to that of ...

Targeting Phospholipid Metabolism in Cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2016 All cancers tested so far display abnormal choline and ethanolamine phospholipid metabolism, which has been detected with numerous magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) approaches in cells, animal models of cancer, as well as the tumors of cancer ...
