Can the stress protein response be controlled by 'membrane-lipid therapy'?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that membrane microheterogeneity is important for regulating heat-shock protein (HSP) response and that when particular membrane intercalating compounds are used to alter membrane properties, the simultaneous normalization of dysregulated expression of HSPs causes beneficial responses to disease states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat shock response in photosynthetic organisms: membrane and lipid connections.

TL;DR: Observations emphasize the importance of membranes and their lipids in the heat shock response and provide a new perspective for guiding further studies into the mechanisms that mediate cellular and organismal responses to heat stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutritional and health aspects of olive oil

TL;DR: There is good evidence that olive oil is protective in cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and its mechanism of action may involve effects on blood lipids, but other mechanisms, including effects on immune function, endothelial function and the coagulation pathways remain possible and are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase exerts strong flux control over lipid synthesis in plants

TL;DR: Results show that acetyl-CoA carboxylase is the major flux controlling enzyme for light-stimulated lipid synthesis in these tissues.
