Example sentences for: cardiolipin
How can you use “cardiolipin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This distinction suggests that tBid might localize to contact sites because of the arrangement of cardiolipin there.
The loss of cytochrome c causes a break in the electron transfer chain resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species [ 31 ] . Reactive oxygen species are known to cause the oxidation and loss of function of many lipids including cardiolipin [ 20 ] . Finally, caspases activated downstream of cytochrome c release have been implicated in mitochondrial damage [ 29 ] . It appears likely that the cumulative damage of these agents could lead to the irreversible loss of mitochondrial membrane integrity and structure.
1and 2) and was shown to destabilize lipid membranes in vitro (along with Bax) by increasing the permeabilization of artificial liposomes [ 25 26 ] . Therefore it is possible that tBid can bind to the cardiolipin rich contact site membranes and destabilize them by inducing Bax or Bak to oligomerize.
Indeed it was found that the targeting of tBid to mitochondria-like membranes occurs in the absence of proteins, yet depends upon cardiolipin being in a possibly unique structure as opposed to free cardiolipin [ 9 ] . The requirement for a specific cardiolipin structure that is likely defined by the contact site is consistent with our observation that no gold particles were found in regions stripped of the outer membrane exposing the cardiolipin-rich inner membrane.
For example, there was consistently more AA accumulating in various hepatic PL than in the hippocampus following AA feeding; and more DHA accumulated in hepatic cardiolipin (CL) than in hippocampal CL, whereas the reverse was true for phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylinositol (PS/PI).
