A simple, primary amine bearing a C10H15 alkyl residue was found to display potent anti-
Influenza A properties in 1964. 1 Soon thereafter, antiviral activity of this amine was found …

Most infectious agents enter the body at mucosal surfaces and therefore mucosal immune
responses function as a first line of defence. Protective mucosal immune responses are most …

The milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) has gained a lot of attention recently, due to the
growing interest in its nutritional and technological properties. The whole membrane as well …

Eukaryotic organisms as well as some prokaryotes and viruses contain sphingolipids, which
are defined by a common structural feature, ie, a “sphingoid base” backbone such as D …

As intracellular parasites, viruses rely heavily on the use of numerous cellular machineries
for completion of their replication cycle. The recent discovery of the heterogeneous …

Sphingolipids have important roles in membrane and lipoprotein structure and in cell
regulation as second messengers for growth factors, differentiation factors, cytokines, and a …

HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Env), expressed at the cell surface, induce apoptosis of
uninfected CD4+ T cells, contributing to the development of AIDS. Here we demonstrate that …

Abstract Ravnskov (1998) presented data for 28 cohorts from 21 prospective studies. In only
3 of these cohorts was saturated fat intake associated with an increased risk of CHD. CHD …

Viruses successfully infect host cells by initially binding to the surfaces of the cells, followed
by an intricate entry process. As multifunctional heterodimeric cell-surface receptor …

The immunomodulator Betafectin® PGG-glucan is a homopolymer of glucose derived from
yeast cell walls which has been demonstrated to enhance leukocyte anti-infective activity in …
