Published: February 2016

Feruloyl-sn-glycerol (FG) and 1,3-diferuloyl-sn-glycerol (F2G), the by-product of biocatalytic transesterification soybean oil and ethyl ferulate, were examined for their behavior in phospholipid vesicles. Based on absorbance and fluorescence methods, FG and F2G both were found to partition into vesicles and incorporate well into 1,2-dioleoylphosphocholine (DOPC) vesicles. FG and F2G incorporation resulted in vesicles that were as or slightly more stable than the unloaded vesicles. FG and F2G both demonstrated the ability to maintain antioxidant properties within the lipid bilayer. Bilayer depth analysis was conducted using the parallax method and molecular modeling.

Bile salts, present in the gastrointestinal tract as biosurfactants, play a crucial role in emulsifying and solubilizing fat-soluble nutrients and drugs, thereby facilitating their absorption. However, the cellular permeation of bile acid-mixed micelles solubilized with lipophilic substances remains inadequately explored. To comprehend the cell permeation behavior of bile salts and their mixed micelles, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) were employed as a cell-mimetic system, prepared with dioleylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC).

Background: Shifts in dietary patterns during lifestyle transitions are integral components of the dynamic interactions between humans and their environments. Investigating the link between dietary diversity, the composition of the human lipidome and infection is key to understanding the interplay between diet and susceptibility to pathogens.

Methods: Here we address this question by performing a comparative study of two ethnic groups with divergent dietary patterns: Fulani, who are nomad pastoralists with a dairy-centric diet, and Mossi, who are farmers with a plant-based diet.

Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a C-type lectin that was originally discovered as a lung surfactant associated phospholipid recognising protein. It was originally shown to be of great importance in surfactant turnover and homeostasis in conjunction with another hydrophilic surfactant protein i.e.

Introduction: Depression is a prevalent and significant psychological consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, exacerbates the neurological damage associated with TBI. This study investigates whether nicorandil, a potassium channel opener with nitrate-like properties known for its antioxidative and neuroprotective effects, can mitigate depression-like behaviors following TBI by modulating ferroptosis.

E-cigarette/vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI) is strongly associated with vitamin E acetate and often occurs with concomitant tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) use. To uncover pathways associated with EVALI, we examined cytokines, transcriptomic signatures, and lipidomic profiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from THC-EVALI patients. At a single center, we prospectively enrolled mechanically ventilated patients with EVALI from THC-containing products (N = 4) and patients with non-vaping acute lung injury and airway controls (N = 5).
