The Langmuir monolayer technique has long been known for its usefulness to study the
interaction between molecules and mimic cellular membranes to understand the mechanism …

The presence of dietary phytocompounds–plant sterols and stanols–in human plasma and
membranes raises the question on their influence on membrane properties. A good way to …

In this work the Langmuir monolayer technique was used to study interactions between
cholesterol (chol) and 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC) with saturated (arachidic acid, AA) and …

Sterols are one of the major components of cellular membranes. Although in mammalian
membranes cholesterol is a predominant sterol, in the human organism plant sterols …

The activity of phytosterols on human organism includes the ability of these compounds to
incorporate into membranes. In the consequence the plant sterols are able to increase total …

Plant sterols, which are well known dietary taken cholesterol lowering agents, can
incorporate into erythrocyte membranes. However, the influence of these compounds on …

The aim of this work was to verify the influence of the saturated (SFA)(stearic acid) and the
unsaturated (UFA)(oleic and α-linolenic) fatty acids on model cholesterol/phospholipid …

This paper is aimed at investigating sterol/phospholipid interactions in the exact proportion
that occurs in fungi/mammalian cells. We have performed a thorough analysis of surface …

In this paper, systematic studies concerning the influence of selected oxysterols on the
structure and fluidity of human erythrocyte membrane modeled as Langmuir monolayers …

In this work thermodynamic analysis of the interactions between lipids in ternary
sphingomyelin/DPPC/sterol Langmuir films were performed to compare the effect of …
