Lassa virus (LASV) is endemic in West Africa and induces a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) with up to 30% lethality among clinical cases. The mechanisms involved in control of Lassa fever or, in contrast, the ensuing catastrophic illness and death
Sphingomyelin (SM) is an important choline group-containing phospholipid and is considered to be an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. We have developed a specific enzymatic assay for SM measurement with rapid and automatable performances by using two-reagent system

1. Phospholipid metabolites lysophospholipids cause extracellular K(+) accumulation and action potential shortening with increased risk of arrhythmias during myocardial ischemia. Here we studied effects of several lysophospholipids with different lengths of hydrocarbon chains and charged headgroups on HERG K(+) currents

Following diazoxide (DZ) induced hypoinsulinemia, cardiac luminal lipoprotein lipase (LPL) increases [Cardiovasc. Res. 3 (2003) 788]. To identify circulating mediators that maintain high LPL in vivo, DZ hearts were perfused for 1 h in the presence or absence of glucose

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a prototype of the lysophospholipid mediator family and has multiple effects in the female reproductive system. Although several metabolic routes have been reported for intracellular formation of LPA, a unique route involving lysophospholipase D, an extracellular
