plasmalogen - what is it?
83850
A plasmalogen is an ether lipid, with an ether-linked alkene (double bond next to the link), also known as vinyl-ether, at the sn-1 position of the glycerol. The second carbon (sn-2) has a typical ester-linked fatty acid, and the third carbon usually has a phospholipid head group like choline or ethanolamine.\n\nIn many tissues plasmalogens are minor constituents, but in heart tissue nearly 50% of phosphatidylethanolamine contains the alkenyl ether at position sn-1. Alkenyl ether-containing phospholipids can protect cells against the damaging effects of singlet oxygen, which at high concentrations can kill cells.\n\nPlasmalogens were first described when studying stained tissue sections. These tissue sections were pre-treated with mercuric chloride that breaks the vinyl-ether bond and forms aldehydes that later react with a fuschin-sulfurous acid stain, giving rise to colored compounds inside the cytoplasm of the cells.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmalogen

hi jason,\ni have no idea wht you are asking but when you answered my question about liposomes, you said that i could mail you for the specific. i want the specifics but i dont have you e-mail address...a little halp here.\nshreya s

it is pioglitazone. it is for diabetic patients. It helps make the body more responsive to insulin, which makes the body regulate sugar content in the blood stream. Hope this helps :-)

No good. Don't waste your money. A good supplement is a great addition to a diet/exercise routine. I've had great success with Lipo 6.

I found thin in google. This might help u.\n\nMagnesium stearate, also called octadecanoic acid, magnesium salt, is a white substance which is solid at room temperature. It has the chemical formula C36H70MgO4. It is a salt containing two equivalents of stearate (the anion of stearic acid) and one magnesium cation (Mg2+). Magnesium stearate melts at about 88 °C, is not soluble in water, and is generally considered safe for human consumption. Because it is widely regarded as harmless, it is often used as a filling agent in the manufacture of medical tablets and capsules. In this regard, the substance is also useful because it has lubricating properties, preventing ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the compression of chemical powders into solid tablets. It is also a common ingredient in baby powders. In pure powder form, the substance can be a dust explosion hazard, although this issue is effectively moot beyond the manufacturing plants using it.\n\nWhen used as a filling agent in the manufacture of capsules and tablets, such as vitamins, the source of this ingredient is typically beef. However, there is an increasing number of vegetarian options in which the product specifically indicates it contains magnesium stearate from vegetable sources.

I'm assuming that you mean recieving it..as in a transfusion...there is a VERY small risk of contracting a disease because of the procceses that it goes through. I dont even know if there have been any recent cases of that heppening. there is also a small chance of an allergic reaction but plasma doesnt have the antibodies that whole blood or platlets does so the chance is pretty unlikely. plasma is a relativly safe and life saving product.

laughing gas. it works pretty quickly and you will be all lightheaded and giddy...but you wont really be as concerned with what they are doing in your mouth lol.

Let's see there's Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor. Those are the ones I know about. Anyone else?

The Plasma Membrane (PM) is very important and highly regulated part of the cell. Mainly composed of phospholipids (hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads) that are double layered. Also, many other components encompass the PM such as cholesterol (to keep the PM fluid), glycoproteins, and other proteins.\n\nThe PM serves as a major part of the cell's communication pathway. Serves as a barrier for communication with other cells, allows other molecules to anchor on the membrane, allows other cells to attach via cytoskeletal components, makes anchor junctions etc...with other cells.\n\nThink of the PM as the doors and windows of a home (the cell). It is quite important for these parts to be regulated. The doors allows certain people to leave to the home to interact with others, it allows people or items to come inside the home to interact. The windows allow for fresh air to come inside the home which can be regarded as quite essential for survival.

The plasmacytoid T cell or plasmacytoid monocyte--a sessile lymphoid cell with unique immunophenotype and unknown function, still awaiting lineage affiliation.\n\nClusters of cells with a plasmacytoid appearance have been identified in T zones of human lymphoid tissue. These cells were shown to express the CD4 antigen in the absence of B-cell antigens. Thus, they were named "plasmacytoid T cells" (PTCs). Recent studies, however, have suggested a myelomonocytic origin of this cell type, which led to the designation "plasmacytoid monocytes." In order to obtain a comprehensive immunophenotype of this cell, we used frozen serial sections of lymph nodes, an indirect immunoperoxidase technique, and a broad panel of well-defined monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). On PTCs, the antigenic density was high for CD4 and CD26 antigens and low for CD2; they furthermore reacted with the mAb OKM5 recognizing an undefined antigen associated with the myelomonocytic lineage and expressed the monocyte-associated antigen CD68. PTCs expressed HLA-A, B, C, HLA-DR, and the HLA-D associated invariant chain (Ii) while HLA-DP antigens were expressed only in low amounts and HLA-DQ antigens were lacking entirely. PTCs further expressed the adhesion molecule CD11c. The absence of detectable transferrin receptor and the proliferation antigen defined by Ki-67 indicated that PTCs were nonproliferating. Other well-defined antigens confined to the T-, B-, and myelomonocyte lineages could not be detected in the target cell population. For us, antigenic equipment is still suggestive of a sessile, terminally differentiated T cell likely to exert a secretory function as yet unknown.

Sorry but I don't have a PDR with me.  This is all that I could find on the Internet:\n\n"It reaches peak plasma levels quickly regardless of whether it is administered as a liquid or pills."

Plasma is a part of your blood. Blood consists of red cells, plasma & platelets. The plasma is comparable to gravy. Lymph is a system in your body that is part of your immune system. Physical movement causes the bones/muscles to move which then exerts influence on the lymph system, making it flush. It helps remove toxins from the body.

Here's a summary of fish oil research regarding use in mood disorders, updated Jan 2006 .\n\n\nThe article is long, but excellent. In conclusion:\n\nConclusions (reviewed as of 3/2006; still seem to hold): the evidence is piling up that omega-3 fatty acids do something, at least in some people;  \nthe dose to use is not at all clear, as some studies suggest you can go too high and lose benefits (Nevets, Sagduyu), whereas many of the individual glowing results come with the higher doses;  \neven at higher doses, the risks seem minimal, and there may actually be additional benefits (on cholesterol, perhaps arthritis);  \nhowever, it's a large number of pills, though a minimal-moderate expense;  \nfish burps can be managed easily  \nit's not clear how long you have to wait to see benefits, but especially with the smaller doses they may take 1-2 months to show up, so if you take them, prepare yourself for a period of taking a lot of pills with no benefits.  \nDo I recommend them to my patients? Yes, rather commonly, especially when we're looking for all possible anti-depression tools to use, rather than have to use a typical antidepressant.  I still have yet to see a clear-cut stunning improvement like those case reports in the table above, but because the risk appears to be so minimal, in many cases it seems like it's worth a try.  \n\nFor more on omega-3's generally, here's a 2001 summary, including an extensive explanation of omega-3 physiology.  For small details including , pill type, flaxseed oil and any other tidbits I accumulate, here are more of my fish (oil) stories.

Hi - here are some ideas without seeing your actual data.  First - the system was too hot during transfer to  the membrane - be sure you aren't running it at too high  a voltage.   Second, not an issue with the  blot,  but with  the gel  - was it expired?  not fully polymerized? were the  wells free of debris when loading  samples?   sometimes with highly concentrated samples, especially cell lysates,  this  can  happen  because  of  viscosity  in t he  sample  (from  DNA for example). good  luck.

The plasma membrane has been called an asymmetric fluid mosaic structure. Made from two leaflets of lipids that form a bilayer (see also Lipid Biosynthesis), it contains proteins that can span one or both layers or are peripherally attached to one face or the other. The components of the bilayer frequently move laterally into other regions of the membrane, making it appear more fluid than static. In addition, proteins on the extracellular face can be heavily glycosylated, giving the membrane asymmetrical characteristics.
