Comparative Study of the Condensing Effects of Ergosterol and Cholesterol.
Cholesterol, due to its condensing effect, is considered an important regulator of membrane thickness. Other sterols, due to their structural similarities to cholesterol, are often assumed to have a universal effect on membrane properties similar to the condensing effect of cholesterol, albeit possibly to different degrees. We used x-ray diffraction to investigate this assumption. By the combin...
متن کاملThe condensing effect of cholesterol in lipid bilayers.
The condensing effect of cholesterol on phospholipid bilayers was systematically investigated for saturated and unsaturated chains, as a function of cholesterol concentration. X-ray lamellar diffraction was used to measure the phosphate-to-phosphate distances, PtP, across the bilayers. The measured PtP increases nonlinearly with the cholesterol concentration until it reaches a maximum. With fur...

متن کاملAbsorption Spectra Studies on Cholesterol and Ergosterol.*
In the previous paper it was shown that highly purified spinal cord cholesterol is still activatable to antirachitic activity when irradiated in the solid form by a Cooper Hewitt mercury vapor quartz lamp. Although the activatability is decreased by the purification methods employed, nevertheless these purified products can again be rendered at least 25 times more activatable if heated under th...
متن کاملketamine has no pre-emptive analgesic effect
previous studies have suggested that ketamine, an n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptor antagonist, provides a pre-emptive analgesic effect and pre-emptive analgesia improves postoperative pain management. the aim of this study was to determine the effict of pre-incisional vs. post-incisional intravenous low dose of racemic ketamine in postoperative pain in children undergoing inguinal hernia re...
