- For rough and smooth microsomes from 2-day-old tissue, the t 146 ransitions occurred at 0 C and 3 C, respectively, indicating that at this early stage in the germination sequence the membrane lipid is entirely liquid-crystalline at physiological temperature.
- A Membrane Lipid Is an Amphipathic Molecule Containing a Hydrophilic and a Hydrophobic MoietyThe repertoire of membrane lipids is extensive, perhaps even bewildering, at first sight.
- In mammalian spermatozoa and certain other highly polarized mammalian cells, a significant fraction of the plasma membrane lipid is not free to diffuse laterally.
- The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that membrane lipid is altered, for a longer term, by other enzymes when directions of cell metabolism change or cell molecular superstructure is reorganized at fertilization, prior to cell behavior changes.
- Cataractous lenses have lipid distributions similar to those of the normal lenses suggesting that membrane lipid is either not involved in cataract formation or that the primary insult is localized in an undetectable small number of fiber cells.
