Lipid Droplets: Structure, Composition, Formation and Function. Connection with the Endoplasmic Reticulum
(Nova Science Publishers, 2019)
Fatty acids (FAs) are important compounds either used for energy production through β-oxidation, for membrane lipid synthesis, or for production of lipid mediators (oxylipins) through oxidations. FAs are also cytotoxic and ...
Procyanidins can interact with Caco-2 cell membrane lipid rafts: involvement of cholesterol
(Elsevier Science, 2013-11)
Large procyanidins (more than three subunits) are not absorbed at the gastrointestinal tract but could exert local effects through their interactions with membranes. We previously showed that hexameric procyanidins (Hex), ...
Role of transmembrane proteins for phase separation and domain registration in asymmetric lipid bilayers
(2019-08-01)
It is well known that the formation and spatial correlation of lipid domains in the two apposed leaflets of a bilayer are influenced by weak lipid–lipid interactions across the bilayer’s midplane. Transmembrane proteins ...
Statistical models for experimental model membranes.
(Águas de Lindóia, 2014-01-29)
Biological membranes are constituted from lipid bilayers and proteins. Investigation of protein-membrane interaction, essential for biological function of cells, must rest upon solid knowledge of lipid bilayer behavior. ...
Protective effect of safranine on the mitochondrial damage induced by Fe(II)citrate: Comparative study with trifluoperazine
(1996-08-07)
In this study, we show that safranine at the concentrations usually employed as a probe of mitochondrial membrane potential significantly protects against the oxidative damage of mitochondria induced by Fe(II)citrate. The ...

Interactions of flavan-3-ols and procyanidins with membranes: mechanisms and the physiological relevance
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-01)
Flavonoids are a type of phenolic compound widely present in edible plants. A great number of health benefits have been ascribed to flavonoid consumption in the human population. However, the molecular mechanisms involved ...
Sticholysin I–membrane interaction: An interplay between the presence of sphingomyelin and membrane fluidity
(Elsevier Science, 2014-01)
Sticholysin I (St I) is a pore-forming toxin (PFT) produced by the Caribbean Sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus belonging to the actinoporin protein family, a unique class of eukaryotic PFT exclusively found in sea ...
