Example sentences for: scd

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

  • It is reasonable to ask whether dietary modification or fatty acid supplementation might change the fatty acid composition of tissue phospholipids in children with SCD.

  • 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.

  • However, the SCD subjects may have been consuming less food, on average, than the controls.

  • As we have reported that sCD39 releases intermediate ADP before ADP is further cleaved during ATP hydrolysis [ 25 ] , sCD39 probably has two conformations that bind metal-ADP complexes, one is the conformation that releases the ADP intermediate, and another that recruits intermediate ADP back to the enzyme for further hydrolysis to AMP.

  • The fatty acid composition of serum phospholipids is known to reflect the phospholipid composition of cell membranes [ 10 ] . Because the fatty acid composition of membrane phospholipids is a major determinant of membrane fluidity and function [ 11 ] , any alteration in fatty acid composition of membrane phospholipids could contribute to the red cell abnormalities seen in SCD, such as cation imbalance, dehydration, reduced deformability and hypercoagulability [ 12 13 ] .
