Example sentences for: phospholipids

How can you use “phospholipids” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Binding of Boi1-PH to phospholipids

  • This particular desaturase is a regulatory enzyme in the pathway responsible for the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in both the n-6 and n-3 fatty acid families [ 24 ] . Since children with SCD exhibit some of the characteristics of malnutrition, such as lower weight-for-age and lower lean body mass, the activity of the)5-desaturase in these children may be decreased, resulting in lower proportions of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in both serum and membrane phospholipids.

  • As shown in Table 2, the red cell phospholipids of the SCD subjects contained significantly higher proportions of the two major saturated fatty acids, palmitic acid (C16:0) and stearic acid (C18:0), than the controls.

  • Amino-acid substitutions that diminish binding to PS and PIP 2 impair Boi1 function, and fusion to a myristoyl group-accepting sequence improves the ability of these mutant versions of Boi1-PH to function, suggesting that binding to phospholipids is important for Boi1 action.

  • The results of the present study confirm our hypothesis, based on analyses of serum phospholipids conducted in two previous studies of children with SCD in Nigeria [ 8 21 ] , that red cell phospholipids of children with SCD contain significantly lower proportions of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and higher proportions of saturated fatty acids relative to non-SCD controls.
