Article Abstract
We studied and quantified the effect of cyclosporine A on hepatic F-actin on bile canalicular and basolateral membranes in rats fed either soybean lecithin, triacylglycerol-enriched diet, or low-fat diet by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging. The phalloidin-FITC staining of F-actin was quite normal in the lecithin-cyclosporine A group but decreased significantly in the other cyclosporine A-treated groups (by 40% and 25% of control in triacylglycerol-cyclosporine A and cyclosporine A groups, respectively). The alteration of F-actin by cyclosporine A, related to cholestasis evidenced by a decrease in bile salt secretion, was prevented by dietary soybean lecithin and amplified by dietary soybean triacylglycerol.

Mild cognitive impairment is a diagnostic category marked by declines in memory and cognitive function that are less severe than those observed in Alzheimer's disease. Previous studies have indicated that individuals with mild cognitive impairment have an elevated risk of progressing to Alzheimer's disease. The hippocampus is well known to play pivotal roles in memory and cognitive functions.

There are many applications of soybean lecithin (SL) and cholesterol-loaded cyclodextrin (CLC) in sperm freezing processes. To the best of our knowledge, there have been few cases of the combined use of SL and CLC in freezing rooster semen. We investigated the effects of CLC, SL, and their combination on rooster sperm cryodamage.

We synthesized lecithin-modified zirconia (LMZ) as an adsorbent, solid-phase extractant, and stationary phase for organic compounds such as organic acids or amino acids. The molecular selectivity of LMZ was evaluated through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). LMZ exhibits electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with organic compounds that depend on the pH of the mobile phase.

A growing body of evidence suggests that protein structure can be uniquely altered by lipids. However, the role of lecithin on the digestibility and immunoreactivity of allergenic protein remains poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the impact of different protein/lecithin (P:L) ratios (5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 30:1 and 40:1) on the digestion properties, peptide profiles and immunoreactivity of β-conglycinin in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion.
