A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TLDR
In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

Relationship Between Insulin Sensitivity and Sphingomyelin Signaling Pathway in Human Skeletal Muscle

TL;DR: The data indicate that the sphingomyelin signaling pathway in muscle might be an important factor determining the development of insulin resistance in humans and to evaluate their relationships with insulin sensitivity.

Seasonal variations in condition, reproductive activity, and gross biochemical composition of two species of adult clam reared in a common habitat: Tapes decussatus L. (Jeffreys) and Tapes philippinarum (Adams & Reeve)

TL;DR: The condition, reproductive activity, and gross biochemical composition of an indigenous and an introduced adult clam population raised in a common habitat of the French Atlantic coast were examined over a 74-wk period.

A subfraction of the yeast endoplasmic reticulum associates with the plasma membrane and has a high capacity to synthesize lipids.

TL;DR: The isolation and characterization of the subfraction of the endoplasmic reticulum that is closely associated with the plasma membrane that is reminiscent of MAM, a mitochondria associated membrane fraction of the yeast is reported.

Cholesterol Reduction by Glucomannan and Chitosan Is Mediated by Changes in Cholesterol Absorption and Bile Acid and Fat Excretion in Rats

TL;DR: Results suggest that G lowered liver cholesterol by a viscosity-mediated interference of cholesterol absorption, in contrast to CH, which appears to lower cholesterol through a different mechanism.

Phytosterols and their derivatives: Structural diversity, distribution, metabolism, analysis, and health-promoting uses.

TL;DR: Phytosterol-enriched functional foods first appeared about twenty years ago and many clinical studies have confirmed the low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-lowering properties of various types of phytosterols, which have provided insights to better understand the cholesterol- Lowering and other biological effects of plant sterols.

Preparation of lipide extracts from brain tissue.

TL;DR: A simple method is described for the preparation of extracts of total pure lipides from brain tissue by homogenizing the tissue with a chloroform-methanol mixture and washing free of non-lipide contaminants.

The quantitative estimation of cerebrosides in nervous tissue.

TL;DR: The values for cerebrosides found in the current literature include gangliosides, and other investigators (JOHNSON, MCNABB, and ROSSITER, 1950; CUMINGS, 1953; BLACKWOOD and CUMings, 1954) have neglected the ganglariosides.

Isolation of brain strandin, a new type of large molecule tissue component.

TL;DR: The isolation from brain tissue of a substance to which the name of strandin has been given for descriptive purposes is reported, which has the property of forming long strands that show perfect orientation under polarized light.
