Effect of Oxylipins, Terpenoid Precursors and Wounding on Soft Corals’ Secondary Metabolism as Analyzed via UPLC/MS and Chemometrics

Molecules, 2017
The effect of three oxylipin analogues, a terpenoid intermediate and wounding on the secondary metabolism of the soft corals Sarcophyton glaucum and Lobophyton pauciflorum was assessed. Examined oxylipins included prostaglandin (PG-E1), methyl jasmonate (

Origin and diversification of steroids: Co-evolution of enzymes and nuclear receptors [PDF]

, 2010
Recent sequencing of amphioxus and sea urchin genomes has provided important data for understanding the origins of enzymes that synthesize adrenal and sex steroids and the receptors that mediate physiological response to these vertebrate steroids ...

A pilot study comparing the metabolic profiles of elite-level athletes from different sporting disciplines [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The outstanding performance of an elite athlete might be associated with changes in their blood metabolic profile. The aims of this study were to compare the blood metabolic profiles between moderate- and high-power and endurance elite ...

Immunometabolic and Spatiotemporal Control of Tissue‐Resident Memory T Cell Biology

Barrier Immunity, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T (TRM) cells in barrier tissues provide a frontline defense against invading pathogens. Immune (Signals 1–3) and nutrient (Signal 4) cues play an integral role in directing TRM formation and heterogeneity. The spatial and temporal organization of these signals establishes durable TRM cells across tissues, enabling diverse ...

Behavior of sterols of insect muscle during homogenization and differential centrifugation

Journal of Lipid Research, 1968
Labeled sterol introduced in vitro into a homogenate of insect muscle became distributed in the various subcellular fractions in a manner similar to that obtained by fractionation of muscle of insects to which labeled sterol had been administered in vivo.

Increasing phospholipid biomimicry governs water permeability in droplet interface bilayers

Droplet, EarlyView.
Increasing phospholipid biomimicry in droplet interface bilayers alters how membranes respond to “membrane‐active molecules” such as cholesterol and niacin. This shows that membranes made using synthetic lipids can overestimate small‐molecule effects, highlighting the importance of using biomimetic lipid compositions to improve physiological relevance ...

Traditional herbal medicines: potential degradation of sterols and sterolins by microbial contaminants

South African Journal of Science, 2009
Medicinal plants with a high content of sterols and sterolins, such as Bulbine natalensis (rooiwortel) and Hypoxis hemerocallidea (African potato), are commonly and inappropriately used in South Africa for the treatment of HIV/AIDS due to the ...

Contribution of Free Fatty Acids to Emulsion Building and Stability: Understanding the Mechanism From the Case Study of a Crude Red Palm Oil (Elaeis guineensis)—Based Emulsion Consumed in Africa and Known as Achu Soup/Sauce Jaune/Ncha

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
In an aqueous alkaline medium, fatty acids (from the hydrolysis of triglycerides or freely present in the oil) are ionised in order to form emulsifiers (carboxylates) which will physically stabilise the prepared emulsion. The higher the free fatty acids content of the oil and alkalinity of the solution, the higher will be the stability of the prepared ...

Modulation of plasma triglycerides concentration by sterol-based treatment in children carrying different genes

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2019
Background: Dyslipidemias have increased during the last decades in children. Aim: The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of different polymorphisms in plasma triglyceride levels of children following a dietary treatment with plant ...
