Interferon-γ-stimulated uptake and turnover of linoleate and arachidonate in macrophages : a possible pathway for hypersensitivity to endotoxin

TL;DR: The results suggest that IFN-gamma has a direct effect on the activity of enzymes controlling fatty acid turnover in phospholipids, which altered uptake and turnover of unsaturated fatty acids may have important consequences for the subsequent activation of macrophages by endotoxin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in Lipid Composition during Callus Differentiation in Cultures of Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)

TL;DR: The selection of different callus types should be of use for investigations of the regulation of lipid biosynthesis under controlled culture conditions and the lipid changes resembled those seen for developing seed tissues where high rates of TAG deposition are accompanied by an altered fatty acid pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fatty acid synthesis in soluble fractions from olive (Olea europaea) fruits

TL;DR: Subcellular fractions from olive (Olea europaea cv. Picual) pericarp have been found capable of active fatty acid synthesis from added malonyl-CoA, with particularly high proportions of medium-chain fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graminicide insensitivity correlates with herbicide-binding co-operativity on acetyl-CoA carboxylase isoforms.

TL;DR: These studies on isolated individual isoforms of ACCase from grasses support and extend previous indications that herbicide binding co-operativity is the only kinetic property that differentiates naturally or selected insensitive enzymes from the typical sensitive forms usually found in grasses.
