Effect of Single and Combined Expression of Lysophosphatidic Acid Acyltransferase, Glycerol-3-Phosphate Acyltransferase, and Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase on Lipid Accumulation and Composition in Neochloris oleoabundans

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Microalgal lipids are promising feedstocks for food and biofuels. Since lipid production by microalgae is not yet economically feasible, genetic engineering is becoming a promising strategy to achieve higher lipid accumulation and productivities. Enzymes

Colorimetric Measurement of Triglycerides Cannot Provide an Accurate Measure of Stored Fat Content in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2010
Drosophila melanogaster has recently emerged as a useful model system in which to study the genetic basis of regulation of fat storage. One of the most frequently used methods for evaluating the levels of stored fat (triglycerides) in flies is a coupled ...

Bio‐Based Solvents Extraction and Enzyme‐assisted Recovery of Furan Fatty Acid From Ammonia‐Stabilized Hevea Latex

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, EarlyView.
The latex of Hevea brasiliensis is rich in furan fatty acid (FuFA) esterified in both neutral and polar lipids. Bio‐based solvents to extract FuFA from ammonia‐stabilized latex was tested. Ethyl acetate worked best, especially with low‐ammonia content. Isopropanol was a good alternative. Lipases could also help to efficiently release FuFA. The findings

Impact of mitochondrial β-oxidation in fatty acid-mediated inhibition of glioma cell proliferation

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Tetradecylthioacetic acid (T11111141), which cannot be β-oxidized, exerts growth-limiting properties in glioma cells. In order to investigate the importance of modulated lipid metabolism and alterations in mitochondrial properties in this cell death ...

Fluorescence spectroscopy measures yeast PAH1-encoded phosphatidate phosphatase interaction with liposome membranes

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
Phosphatidate (PA) phosphatase, the enzyme that catalyzes the penultimate step in triacylglycerol synthesis, is a cytosolic enzyme that must associate with the membrane where its substrate PA resides.

Human cachexia induces changes in mitochondria, autophagy and apoptosis in the skeletal muscle [PDF]

, 2019
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle mass due to imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is related with poor prognosis and compromised quality of life.

Identification and Nontargeted Screening of Phytosterol Esters in Oilseeds and Oils Based on Fragmentation Characteristics via Ultrahigh–Performance Liquid Chromatography High–Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
A database comprising 1,176 phytosterol esters (PSE) was established through random combinations of 21 phytosterols and 56 fatty acyl chains, along with their corresponding fragment ions. 2. An in–situ identification and non–targeted screening method was developed to differentiate isomers of phytosterols and fatty acyl chains using precursor and ...
