Effects of Glycosylation on Lecithin -Cholesterol Acyltransferase
LCAT glycosylation mutants N84Q and N384Q were examined to determine the effects of deleting individual glycan chains. Purified N84Q LCAT did not possess measurable enzymatic activity or interfacial binding affinity for rHDL. Purified N384Q was more enzymatically active than WT LCAT, but lost all …

Linker-based Lecithin Microemulsions as Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems
… and their ability to improve skin penetration. Lecithins (mixtures of phospholipids similar to those find in the skin) have been proposed as ideal surfactants in microemulsions due to their skin compatibility. Unfortunately, their incorporation into microemulsions used to require toxic …

Protein and cell therapy for lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency
Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is an enzyme principally secreted by the liver into the circulation where it esterifies cholesterol and plays a key role in high- density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. In familial and acquired (liver disease) LCAT deficiency, the failure to esterify …

Acid-base regulation during sprint exercise in horses fed lecithin
… of exercise, training, and a supplemental lecithin/corn oil diet on acid-base homeostasis and blood gases in arterial and central venous blood were examined during repeated sprint exercise in horses. Differences between temperature measurement sites for the adjustment of pH and blood gases …

Supercritical Fluid Extraction and Chromatography of Various Lipids from Soybean Lecithin
… work was fractionation of phospholipids from lecithin (a by-product from soybean) by using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with methanol-modified CO2. Neutral lipids were first removed from the crude sample using pure CO2. Partrial fractionation of PE and nearly pure fractionated PC were …

Apolipoprotein E Activation and Phosphatidylcholine Substrate Requirements of Lecithin Cholesterol Acyl Transferase
The apolipoprotein activation of lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) by human apolipoprotein E (apo E) was investigated by incorporating apo E into discoidal complexes of egg phosphatidylcholine (egg-PC) and cholesterol by the cholate dialysis method. These complexes were systematically …

Lecithin containing diets for the horse: acceptance, digestibility, and effects on behavior
Lecithins may improve the digestibility of high fat diets and the tractability of horses. Experiments were conducted to determine the acceptability, digestibility and effects on behavior of lecithin-containing diets. Seven young horses of light breeds were used for the studies. The four …

Sarcoplasmic reticulum responses to repeated sprints, conditioning and dietary lecithin in the horse
… may be affected by conditioning and dietary lecithin. Ten Quarter Horses performed repeated sprints on a high speed treadmill. Muscle samples were taken before and after exercise from the middle gluteal muscle, and SR vesicles were isolated. Horses were then conditioned for 12 weeks and the …

Pre-Clinical Development Of Aav Mediated Gene Therapy For Familial Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase Deficiency
Familial lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency (FLD), is a rare monogenic disease, characterized by abnormal lipid profile, corneal opacities, anemia and renal disease which progresses to renal failure. There is currently no approved treatment for patients with this disease. FLD is …

Probing the Structure and Function of Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase by Site-Directed and Deletion Mutagenesis
These results have established further relationships between LCAT and other interfacially activated lipases and have contributed to the understanding of the functional regions of LCAT.

Solubilisation properties of phosphatidylcholine
… by thoroughly-purified phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) in benzene solution has been studied. The extent of solubilisation of the sugar has been found to depend on the concentration of lecithin, the structure of the sugar and the presence of cholesterol as a co-solute. The limiting solubility …

Synthetic Micellar Complexes of Apolipoprotein a-I With Lipids as Substrates for Human Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase
Micellar lipid-apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) complexes were produced by adding human apo A-I to lipid dispersions containing sodium cholate. The lipid mixtures included dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC), dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), and egg phosphatidylcholine (egg-PC). The formation …
