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.

Fusion of mammalian cells by unilamellar lipid vesicles: Influence of lipid surface charge, fluidity and cholesterol

TL;DR: Variation of the chemical composition of the vesicles has permitted an evaluation of the importance of such membrane parameters as surface charge, fluidity and the presence of cholesterol in the fusion of mammalian cells cultured in vitro by unilamellar vesicle prepared from individual or mixed phospholipid species.

Lipid and fatty acid composition of early stages of cephalopods : an approach to their lipid requirements

TL;DR: It can be deduced that cephalopod paralarvae and juveniles must require a food rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), phospholipids and cholesterol and with a moderate content in neutral lipids.

A novel use of chitosan as a hypocholesterolemic agent in rats

TL;DR: A proper supplementation of chitosan to the diet seemed to be effective in lowering plasma cholesterol, and relatively more cholesterol existed as high-density lipiproteins and less as very low- density lipoproteins.

Lipids of alveolar macrophages, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and their phagocytic vesicles

TL;DR: Polymorphonuclear leukocytes in which less than 3% of phospholipid fatty acids were arachidonic did not produce malondialdehyde during phagocytosis of these inert particles, but did when ingesting an emulsion containing linolenate, thus providing evidence for peroxidation of ingested lipid.

Lipid stability and meat colour of beef from pasture- and grain-fed cattle with or without vitamin E supplement.

TL;DR: This paper evaluated the effects of pasture-fed cattle alone and with vitamin E supplementation and compared the findings with those obtained for grain-fed cows (predominantly sorghum) with and without supplementation.

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.
