in this study, the effects of dietary egg lecithin on digestive enzymes and body biochemical composition of juveniles mesopotamichthys sharpeyi was evaluated. four experimental diets including control diet (with 0% egg lecithin) and three diets containing 2%, 4% and 6% egg lecithin were used. at the end of the experiment, digestive enzymes activity (lipase, amylase and alkaline phosphatase) and...

We demonstrate Förster resonance energy transfer from dehydroergosterol to dansylated lecithin in lecithin-cholesterol vesicles and characterize the vesicles in the presence of the pro-nucleating enzyme, phospholipase C (PLC). Exposure to phospholipase C causes a temporary decrease in the dehydroergosterol to dansyl fluorescence ratio followed by an increase to and above the initial value. The ...

Phospholipase A1 (PLA1) is a member of the hydrolase family with applications in various fields, especially food industry. A calcium-independent PLA1 from Streptomyces albidoflavus was expressed E. coli BL21 (DE3) this study. The results indicated that soluble expression at low level, which possibly due to toxicity host. In contrast, enzyme as inclusion bodies exhibited high-level and 0.3 mg pr...

Using complementary physical-chemical techniques we defined five different crystallization pathways as functions of time (30 days) and increasing lecithin (egg yolk) content in pathophysiologically relevant model biles super-saturated (cholesterol saturation indices, 1.2 - 2.7) by dilution of approximately equal to 29 g/dl bile salt-lecithin-cholesterol micellar solutions. As evidenced by quasi...

Lipide extracts of the red cells of several animal species have been analyzed chromatographically. Genetically determined differences in phospholipide composition were found. Lecithin is absent from the cells of ox, sheep, and goat. Cells containing lecithin are susceptible to the direct hemolysin of cobra venom while cells not containing lecithin are resistant. The facts indicate that the dire...
