Intraspecfic variation in cold-temperature metabolic phenotypes of Arabidopsis lyrata ssp petraea [PDF]
Atmospheric temperature is a key factor in determining the distribution of a plant species. Alongside this, plant populations growing at the margin of their range may exhibit traits that indicate genetic differentiation and adaptation to their local ...

Activity of 3-ketosphinganine synthase during differentiation and aging of neuronal cells in culture
Changes in the enzyme 3-ketosphinganine synthase activity in rat cerebellar granule cells in culture were studied during differentiation and aging. The enzyme activity with palmitoyl-CoA and stearoyl-CoA, precursors of, respectively, C18-sphinganine and ...

Fumonisin B-Glucose Reaction Products Are Less Toxic When Fed to Swine [PDF]
The effects of fumonisin B-glucose reaction products in swine diets was examined. Pigs were fed diets containing 528 µmol of total fumonisin B/kg (FB), 528 µmol of total FB-glucose adducts/kg (FB-G, 122 µmol of unreacted FB/kg), or 0 µmol of total FB/kg ...

A high-fat diet containing whole walnuts (Juglans regia) reduces tumour size and growth along with plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 in the transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate model. [PDF]
Prostate cancer (PCa) has been linked to fat intake, but the effects of both different dietary fat levels and types remain inconsistent and incompletely characterised.

Requirement for sphingosine kinase 1 in mediating phase 1 of the hypotensive response to anandamide in the anaesthetised mouse [PDF]
In the isolated rat carotid artery, the endocannabinoid anandamide induces endothelium-dependent relaxation via activation of the enzyme sphingosine kinase (SK).

Long-chain bases in the sphingolipids of atherosclerotic human aorta
Long-chain bases were prepared from human aorta sphingomyelin by a combined enzymatic hydrolysis-alkaline hydrolysis procedure and these bases were isolated by thin-layer chromatography.

Accumulation of long-chain bases in yeast promotes their conversion to a long-chain base vinyl ether [PDF]
Long-chain bases (LCBs) are the precursors to ceramide and sphingolipids in eukaryotic cells. They are formed by the action of serine palmitoyl-CoA transferase (SPT), a complex of integral membrane proteins located in the endoplasmic reticulum.
