The ability of the naturally occurring ether lipid, 1-O (2 methoxy) hexadecyl glycerol (MHG), and phenylbutyrate (BP) to inhibit cellular proliferation, anchorage-independent growth and cellular invasion in the human prostate cancer LnCap and DU145 cells was determined. Both MHG and

A recent study demonstrated biochemical and structural alterations of peroxisomes in rat kidney after ischemia/reperfusion. We examined whether peroxisomes play any role in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Isolated perfused rat heart was made ischemic for 30 min by

Exposure of Tetrahymena pyriformis NT-1 to chimyl alcohol (1-O-hexadecyl glycerol) produced a reproducible enhancement in unsaturated fatty acids and a great decrease in order parameter (S), which result from the 2-fold increases of stearoyl-CoA and oleoyl-CoA desaturase activities in microsomes.

The effect of alkylglycerol supplementation on protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated signaling events has been studied in fibroblasts from Zellweger patients (SF 3271 cells). Western blotting analysis established that Zellweger fibroblasts express PKC alpha, epsilon, and zeta. Incubation with bradykinin induced

Alveolar surfactant (exposed to air and therefore a prime target of air oxidants) is supplied with antioxidants during its intracellular formation on type-II pneumocytes [Rüstow, Haupt, Stevens and Kunze (1993) Am. J. Physiol. 265, L133-L139]. Plasmalogens can protect animal cells
