"Lipids are probably the most ignored type of molecules by the entire field of biological sciences, and yet they play a key role in many of the functions of the body." For example, lipids function as ...

Apolipoproteins (apo) such as apoB, apoC and apoE, coat lipoprotein particles and serve a number of functions including the transport of lipids in the blood and recognition of lipoprotein ...

Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that functions as the backbone of these membrane lipids. Within an individual glycerophospholipid, fatty acids are attached to the first and second carbons ...

We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer ... the physics and chemistry that determine cell structure and function. The interior of a cell is an aqueous environment, so ...

Lipids include fats (solid at room temperature) and oils (liquid at room temperature). Lipids are an important part of a healthy diet. The body uses lipids as an energy store, as insulation and to ...

The Journal emphasizes lipid function and the biochemical and genetic regulation of lipid metabolism. In addition, JLR publishes manuscripts on patient-oriented and epidemiological research ...

"We have a limited understanding of the functions of leaf LDs—why do plant leaves accumulate LDs at all? We believe the ...

Spinraza treatment may help restore lipid balance to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with SMA, according to a small ...

Other lipids, such as sterol esters, may still contribute. Would absence of FIT2 make microglia function more smoothly? The moment of truth came when Wu tested phagocytosis of FIT2-depleted microglia.

Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) are commonly used for contraception, but their long-term effects on oxidative stress, lipid profiles, and liver function remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate ...
