Journal ArticleDOI

Blood-derived lysophospholipid sustains hepatic phospholipids and fat storage necessary for hepatoprotection in overnutrition.

TL;DR: In this article , the lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) transporter Mfsd2a was identified as critical for maintaining hepatic phospholipid pools.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increasing maternal age associates with lower placental CPT1B mRNA expression and acylcarnitines, particularly in overweight women

TL;DR: In this article , the placenta, containing maternally-inherited mitochondria, shows an age-related CPT decline that lowers placental acylcarnitine synthesis, increasing vulnerability to pregnancy complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Normalization Approaches for Quantitative Analysis of Bile Acids in Human Feces

TL;DR: The data show that bile acid concentrations normalized by the three different approaches are substantially different for each individual sample, which will provide the basis for the selection of a suitable normalization approach for the quantitative analysis of bile acids in feces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid bilayer composition as a determinant of cancer cell sensitivity to tumoricidal protein‐lipid complexes

TL;DR: The results suggest that the membrane lipid composition is functionally important and that specific unsaturated membrane lipids may serve as “recognition motifs” for broad‐spectrum tumoricidal molecules such as alpha1‐oleate.
