The objectives of the present work are to characterize the transport of mitoxantrone and
three anthracyclines in terms of binding to the membrane surface, flip-flop across the lipid …

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is believed to function as an ATP-dependent efflux pump for natural
product anti-cancer drugs in multidrug-resistant (MDR) tumor cells and in certain normal …

The lipid and protein composition of the plasma membrane isolated from mulberry (Morus
bombycis Koidz.) bark cells was analyzed throughout the cold acclimation period under …

Lipid rafts have been identified in the membranes of mammalian cells, the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Formed by a …

Flavonoids are a type of phenolic compound widely present in edible plants. A great number
of health benefits have been ascribed to flavonoid consumption in the human population …

The Caco-2 human enterocytic cell line was used to study the kinetics and mechanism of
intestinal long chain fatty acid uptake. Initial rates of palmitate (16: 0), oleate (18: 1), and …

Addressing the numerous gaps in current information, Target Organ Toxicology in Marine
and Freshwater Teleosts is an essential resource for researchers and professionals in …

Free fatty acids (FFA) and sn-2-monoacylglycerol (sn-2-MG), the two hydrolysis products of
dietary triacylglycerol, are absorbed from the lumen into polarized enterocytes that line the …

Vibrio cholerae cytolysin permeabilizes animal cell membranes. Upon binding to the target
lipid bilayer, the protein assembles into homo-oligomeric pores of an as yet unknown …

Rats were maintained on nutritionally complete diets enriched in unsaturated (corn oil) or
saturated (butter fat) triacylglycerols. After 6 weeks, significant differences in the lipid …
