In late 2019, the new Coronavirus has been identified in city of Wuhan then COVID-19 spreads like wildfire rest world. Pregnant women represent a risk category for increased abortion rates and vertical transmission with adverse events on newborns recently confirmed. The scientific world is struggling finding an effective cure counteracting symptomatology. Today, there are many therapeutic propo...

Total lipid extracted from wild-type Trichophyton terrestre CDC-X285 was found to be 2.0 percent of the dry cell weight. The total lipid contained the following phospholipid components identified by silicic acid-impregnated thin-layer and paper chromatography: phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl serine, and phosphatidic acid. The total lipid extracted from the phenotype T....

The fatty acid composition of wheat seedling roots changed in response to temperature. As temperature declined, the level of linolenic acid increased and the level of linoleic acid decreased. The distribution of phospholipid classes was not influenced by temperature. Phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine were the predominant phospholipids isolated and comprised 85% of the total lip...

The mechanism of action by which insulin increases phosphatidic acid (PA) and diacylglycerol (DAG) levels was investigated in cultured hepatoma cells (HEPG2). Insulin stimulated phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidyl-inositol (PI) degradation through the activation of specific phospholipases C (PLC). The DAG increase appears to be biphasic. The early DAG production seems to be due to PI brea...

Proteins such as aminopeptidases and alkaline phosphatases, both glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol (GPI) anchored proteins, were previously identified as Cry1Ac binding proteins in the Heliothis virescens midgut. To identify additional toxin binding proteins, brush border membrane vesicles from H. virescens larvae were treated with phosphatidyl inositol phospholipase C, and released proteins were ...

During the last few years, the myo-inositol-containing phospholipids have elicited considerable interest from biochemists because of their possible dynamic functions in cell membranes. Parallel with this interest in function has been a concerted attack on the problem of elucidating the detailed structures of these complex substances. In general, the more definitive results have come from the la...
