bryonia syriaca/phospholipid

Alloxane diabetes in rats was accompanied by a distinct increase in total content of phospholipids and their fractions (especially of acid phospholipids) in whole blood; the ratio of neutral phospholipids/acid phospholipids was decreased. Content of phospholipids was distinctly normalized in rat

Fluidity changes in plasma membrane (PM) lipid extracts or native membranes isolated from Bryonia dioica internodes after a mechanical stimulation were monitored by steady-state fluorescence polarization with 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene as a probe. The signal was shown to rapidly induce an

Mechanical stimulation exerted by rubbing a young internode of Bryonia dioica plants inhibits its growth. Previous cellular and biochemical studies showed that this growth inhibition is associated with Ca(2+) redistribution and profound modifications of plasma membrane characteristics. We extracted

We studied how administration of trihydroxyoctadecadienoic acids obtained from the roots of the native Armenian plant Bryonia alba L. (0.05 mg/kg/day for 15 days. i.m.) restores the disordered lipid metabolism of alloxan-diabetic rats. Diabetes was accompanied by an increase in total non-esterified
