Membrane Lipids

Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation.

1.	Hyperlipidemias (Hyperlipidemia) 09/01/1988 - "Estrogen-induced hyperlipidemia resulted in changes in the fatty acid composition of membrane lipids of erythrocytes. " 04/01/1985 - "This spontaneous improvement seems to be due to the accumulation of red cell membrane lipids reflecting the lipemia of immune complex nephritis in B/W mice. " 08/01/1981 - "From the above observation, it is worthwhile to study on HDL fraction which is associated with cell membrane lipids and received less influence of the amounts of serum lipids, when the damage with lipid peroxides under pregnancy accompanied of hyperlipemia is examined in relation to alpha-toc." 03/01/1994 - "The authors found: hyperlipidemia resultant from high concentrations of triglycerides, changes in phospholipid fractions due to a relative rise in the level of phosphatidylethanolamine, altered spectrum of red cell membrane lipids due to a significant increase in free cholesterol against low triglycerides. "
2.	Atherosclerosis 05/19/1997 - "Mg2+ modulates membrane lipids in vascular smooth muscle: a link to atherogenesis." 01/01/1993 - "Radical detoxification is a major protective factor for cell membrane integrity and together with an appropriate renewal of membrane lipids may protect against the development of atherosclerosis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)" 01/01/2003 - "Since the oxidative modification of LDL plays an important role in the genesis of atherosclerosis, piperlactam S may help to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, not only by protecting LDL and membrane lipids from oxidative modification but also by reducing free radical-induced endothelial injury and/or dysfunction." 01/01/2007 - "Specifically, rofecoxib has been shown to increase the susceptibility of human LDL and cell membrane lipids to oxidative modification, a hallmark feature of atherosclerosis. " 11/30/2001 - "The oxidation of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins and cell membrane lipids is believed to play an integral role in the development of fatty streak lesions, an initial step in atherogenesis. "

5.	Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) 07/01/1998 - "These results indicate that surfactant dysfunction in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) could be increased in severity by interactions between some inhibitory substances, but that supplementation with exogenous CLSE would be effective in reversing inactivation by the mixtures of blood proteins, membrane lipids, and fatty acids studied."
