Zinc oxide nanoparticles as selective killers of proliferating cells [PDF]

, 2011
Background: It has recently been demonstrated that zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) induce death of cancerous cells whilst having no cytotoxic effect on normal cells.

High density lipoprotein metabolism in low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice1[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
The LDL receptor (LDLR) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) play physiological roles in LDL and HDL metabolism in vivo. In this study, we explored HDL metabolism in LDLR-deficient mice in comparison with WT littermates.

Selective uptake of cholesteryl esters from low density lipoproteins in vitro and in vivo

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
Evidence for the direct uptake (“selective uptake”) of cholesteryl esters (CE) from low density lipoproteins (LDL) by perfused luteinized rat ovaries (Azhar, S., A. Cooper, L. Tsai, W. Maffe, and E. Reaven. 1988. J. Lipid Res.

Selective Uptake of Zn65 by Dorsolateral Prostate of Rat.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1955
SummaryThe dorsolateral prostate of the rat concentrates Zn65 from 15 to 25 times more than any other organ. These concentrations are high enough to suggest the use of this element in studies of the physiology of the prostate and possibly in the evaluation of clinical diseases of that organ.

Uptake of purines in Plasmodium falciparum-infected human erythrocytes is mostly mediated by the human Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter and the human Facilitative Nucleobase Transporter [PDF]

, 2010
<b>Background</b>: Plasmodium parasites are unable to synthesize purines de novo and have to salvage them from the host. Due to this limitation in the parasite, purine transporters have been an area of focus in the search for anti-malarial ...

Regulation of the selective uptake of high density lipoprotein-associated cholesteryl esters

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987
We have previously shown in rats that the cholesteryl ester component of high density lipoproteins (HDL) is taken up at a greater fractional rate than is the apolipoprotein A-I component (selective uptake) by liver and steroidogenic tissues.

Selective uptake of alloxan by pancreatic B-cells [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1982
Alloxan rapidly binds to or accumulates in pancreatic B-cells as distinct from non-B-cells. The selective uptake of this cytotoxic agent by the insulin-producing B-cells might account for its well-known diabetogenic effect.

Hepatic lipase mediates an increase in selective uptake of HDL-associated cholesteryl esters by cells in culture independent from SR-BI

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters (CEs) by the liver. Hepatic lipase (HL) promotes this lipid uptake independent from lipolysis.

Lipoprotein lipase mediates an increase in selective uptake of HDL-associated cholesteryl esters by cells in culture independent of scavenger receptor BI

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters (CEs) by the liver. LPL promotes this selective lipid uptake independent of lipolysis.

Selective Uptake of Dietary Tocotrienols into Rat Skin.

Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 2000
Using a vitamin E mixture extracted from palm oil, the tissue distribution of dietary tocotrienols and tocopherols was examined in rats and mice. Wistar rats (4-wk-old) were fed a diet containing 48.8 mg/kg alpha-tocopherol, 45.8 mg/kg alpha-tocotrienol and 71.4 mg/kg gamma-tocotrienol for 8 wk.
