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 ...
Changes in lipid composition in hippocampus early and late after status epilepticus induced by kainic acid in wistar rats
(Springer, 2007-03-01)
Oxidative damage to biological membranes has been reported as a cause of alterations in many different diseases. We had previously reported lipid peroxidation in the kainic acid model of temporal epilepsy. In this study ...

Breakdown of classical paradigms in relation to membrane structure and functions
(Elsevier Science, 2021-02)
Updates of the mosaic fluid membrane model implicitly sustain the paradigms that bilayers are closed systems conserving a state of fluidity and behaving as a dielectric slab. All of them are a consequence of disregarding ...
