Triglycerides have a limited solubility, around 3%, in phosphatidylcholine lipid bilayers. Using millisecond-scale course grained molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the model lipid bilayer can accommodate a higher concentration of triolein (TO) than earlier anticipated, by sequestering
Recent technical advances in the extraction of dermal interstitial fluid (ISF) have stimulated interest in using this rather unexploited biofluid as an alternative to blood for detection and prediction of disease. However, knowledge about the presence of useful biomarkers for health BACKGROUND
Friction blisters occur when shear loading causes the separation of dermal layers. Consequences range from minor pain to life-threatening infection. Past research in blister formation has focused on in vivo experiments, which complicate a mechanics-based study of the phenomenon.
METHODS
A
Diffusion of lipid fractions from blood to fluid in blister induced by cantharidal ointment, applied on the forearm skin, was studied in 54 patients, thereof 18 with normlipidemia, 13 having type II hyperlipidemia, 23 with type IV hyperlipidemia. Concentrations of triglycerides, phospholipids, free
Interstitial fluid (IF) was obtained in 27 apparently healthy subjects (12 males, 15 females) by applying mild suction (200-250 mm Hg) on the skin either on the midvolar forearm or on the paraumbilical region of the abdomen. The IF concentrations of lipids and apolipoproteins (apo) were studied and
The concentration of 5 different proteins in suction blister fluid and serum was determined by immunotechniques. These proteins, varying in size and molecular weight (6,600-2,300,000) were insulin, albumin, high density lipoprotein determined as apoprotein A-I, alpha 2-macroglobulin and low density
We have in this study investigated the composition, structure and spectroscopical properties of multilamellar vesicles composed of a phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), and up to 10mol% of triolein (TO), a triglyceride. We found in agreement with previous results
BACKGROUND
High-quality methods for lipoprotein characterization are warranted in studies on various metabolic diseases.
METHODS
An automated system for size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) of lipoproteins using commercially available components is described. Cholesterol or triglyceride content in
Recent studies have demonstrated that arachidonic acid (AA) may serve as an important signal that blocks cell proliferation of certain neoplastic cells. The current study was conducted to determine whether disruption of AA homeostasis influences breast cancer cell proliferation and death. Initial
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the stability of two different freeze-dried tablet formulations at different relative humidities (RHs). The tablets contained 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) as a model drug and were prepared by freeze-drying a suspension and an oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion.
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of an oral contraception formulation with drospirenone (Yasmin) on lipid metabolism. An open-label, non-comparative clinical trial was conducted. One hundred women, who desired oral contraception for at least 6 months, were recruited. The subjects
Essential fatty acid deficiency was documented in a 3-year-old boy with chronic cholestasis secondary to paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts (Alagille's syndrome). Dietary management had consisted almost exclusively of a proprietary formula with over 80% of the fat as medium-chain triglycerides. The
A 48-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of papular hyperkeratotic diffuse lesions on his trunk, arms, and neck that were highly pruritic (Figure 1). He also had "V"-shaped nicks in the nails, mucous white papules on his palate, and diffuse desquamation on the scalp. Abnormal laboratory
Biological age reflects the functional status of an individual. The purpose of the study was to develop a model for estimating oral biological age with oral and systemic parameters.A total of 248 subjects who had a routine health check were assessed with This study presents the results of the research on transcapillary filtration of plasma proteins in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The aims of the study were as follows: (a) Examination of transcapillary filtration of plasma proteins in patients with NIDDM; (b) Search
