Possible Interaction: Lecithins and Phosphatidylethanolamine

“ PE biosynthesis rates exceeded those for PC four- to fivefold.”

“Several factors may contribute to the altered proportions of PE and PC or unsaturated molecular species of phospholipids characteristic of thermally acclimated animals.”

“… lecithins with … as phosphatidylethanolamine and lysophosphatidylcholine (miristoyl; Iysod 14 ) increased the activating efficiency of lecithins, (b) ApoHBD formed tightly bound, catalytically active complexes with lecithin liposomes and … interface was not essential for HBD activity since a molecular dispersion of diheptanoyl lecithin (diC 7 ) activated apoHBD to a limited extent.”

“Optimal reactivation can be obtained for the various lecithins when they are microdispersed together with phosphatidylethanolamine.”

“The amounts of lecithin and cephalin decreased in proportion.”

“The study indicates that PE is a powerful tool to increase the antioxidant activity of tocopherols in bulk oil and that modification of lecithin to increase PE concentration could be a commercially viable option to functionalize lecithin so that its ability to inhibit lipid oxidation increases in bulk oils.”

“Increasing phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine , and cholesterol contents stabilize the lecithin membrane against BS to different degrees and in different ways, whereas the destabilization by sphingomyelin is probably due to the enhancement of the membrane gel-liquid transition temperature.”

“A new type of lipid organization is observed in mixtures of phosphatidyl-choline with cardiolipin (in the presence of Ca2+), monoglycosyldiglyceride and phosphatidylethanolamine (in the presence of cholesterol).”
