The research team said: «Vegetarian (including vegan) diets have benefits for cardiovascular health, hypertension, body weight and
plasma lipids, and also provide nutritional advantages compared
with omnivorous diets.»
It interacts
with a human
plasma - membrane
lipid, phosphatidylserine, to facilitate replication of the virus.
Substituting those residues
with alanine, which is hydrophobic, reduced
lipid binding by 40-fold and stopped localization to the
plasma membrane.
The new findings build on prior research from the Dhodapkar lab demonstrating that patients
with Gaucher disease, an inherited
lipid storage disorder, have a significant increased risk for developing myeloma; and the discovery of a subset of
lipid - reactive immune cells, called type II NKT - TFH, that promote the development of
plasma cells.
We delve into very fundamental problems such as «how does a malaria red blood cell attach itself to a blood vessel» or «how does binding of a ligand to a cell surface receptor or contact of a crystalline surface
with the
plasma membrane drive
lipid sorting and how will this lead to signalling» but then immediately apply it to a practical problem such as «how does contact of uric acid crystals
with dendritic cells cause gout in affected joints and how can we prevent this occurrence?»
Recent successful steps in this direction were for example identifying that hydrophobic mismatch and electrostatic interaction
with the
lipid PIP2 are driving the formation of active complexes of the SNARE protein synatxin - 1 in
plasma membrane.
The metabolic analysis of the mice could be combined
with clinical assessments, by performing biochemical analysis in blood,
plasma, urine and tissues (i.e,
lipid and cholesterol content, glycogen content...) and by performing autopsy of the animal at the end of phenotyping study
with several tissue collections (i.e, histology, mRNA anlaysis, protein analysis...).
Palmitoylation at Cys - 416 is important for recruitment at both
plasma membrane and
lipid rafts and association
with G protein alpha subunits.
«Levels of
lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide, and antioxidant vitamins in
plasma of patients
with fibromyalgia.»
Vitamins C (ascorbic acid) and E (gamma - tocopherol), along
with several polyphenols, have been shown to reduce the amount of platelets and
plasma lipids in the blood and decrease blood pressure, which reduces the risk of serious heart disease.
However, the effects of dietary fiber on glycemic control were considered inconsequential.1 Furthermore, the expert panel of the ADA considered it difficult to achieve a high dietary intake of soluble fiber without consuming foods or supplements fortified
with fiber.1 We therefore designed the present study to determine the effects on glycemic control and
plasma lipid concentrations of increasing the intake of dietary fiber in patients
with type 2 diabetes exclusively through the consumption of foods not fortified
with fiber (unfortified foods) to a level beyond that recommended by the ADA.
A high intake of dietary fiber, particularly of the soluble type, above the level recommended by the ADA, improves glycemic control, decreases hyperinsulinemia, and lowers
plasma lipid concentrations in patients
with type 2 diabetes.
In conclusion, an increase in the intake of dietary fiber, predominantly of the soluble type, by patients
with type 2 diabetes mellitus improved glycemic control and decreased hyperinsulinemia in addition to the expected lowering of
plasma lipid concentrations.
Fasting
plasma total cholesterol, lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides were measured according to the procedures of the
Lipid Research Clinics.17 Cholesterol and triglycerides were measured enzymatically
with the use of kits (Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis).
Effect of dietary chitosans
with different viscosity on
plasma lipids and
lipid peroxidation in rats fed on a diet enriched
with cholesterol.
