Sepsis is the leading cause of death in critically ill patients. Today, around 60% of all cases of sepsis are caused by Gram-negative bacteria. The cell wall component lipopoly-saccharide (LPS) is the main initiator of the cascade of cellular reactions in Gram-negative infections. The core receptors
The effect of (0.05 ng ml-1 and 0.1 ng ml(-1)) TNF alpha on the phospholipid metabolism of Tetrahymena pyriformis was studied. The amount of phosphatidyl choline (PC), phosphatidyl inositol (PI), phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), diacylglycerol (DAG), arachidonic acid (AA) and
Plasmalogenase catalyzes the hydrolysis of ethanolamine plasmalogens to long-chain aldehydes and 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamines. During development, plasmalogenase activity parallels myelination. The enzyme is most concentrated within oligodendroglial cells and is absent from myelin. The
Lipid composition was studied in various zones of the myocardium impaired with infarction. Content of phospholipids was decreased, while lysophospholipids and free fatty acids were increased in the necrosis-impaired sites. In the overinfarction-impaired tissues content of total lipids,
The fatty acid composition of phospholipids and triglycerides in heart muscle was examined in normal and alloxan-diabetic male Wistar rats. In diabetes the major phospholipids, phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine, showed significant changes in fatty acid composition, whereas
Cyclotides are plant-derived peptides characterized by a ~30-amino-acid-long cyclic backbone and a cystine knot motif. Cyclotides have diverse bioactivities, and their cytotoxicity has attracted significant attention for its potential anticancer applications. Hybanthus enneaspermus (Linn) F.
The epidemiological association between high intakes of n-3 fatty acids (FA) and decreased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be explained by two main basic mechanisms: (a) an effect on atherothrombosis, and (b) an effect on cardiac arrhythmias. These mechanisms probably
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety/tolerability, and cardiac safety of liposomal muramyl tripeptide phosphatidyl-ethanolamine [mifamurtide (L-MTP-PE)] in healthy adults.
METHODS
L-MTP-PE 4 mg was administered intravenously over 30 min. Study
For 16 wk Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post-smolts were fed practical-type diets that contained either fish oil (FO) or sunflower oil (SO) as the lipid component. Both diets contained adequate (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). All the phospholipids of heart and liver from SO-fed fish had
