Furthermore, the altered membrane structures generally lead to the disturbance of their fluidity associated with loss of enzymatic activity and decrease in transport capacity [ 10, 29].
Because the deformability of erythrocytes is highly dependent on their membrane fluidity [ 54, 55], the reduction in membrane fluidity associated with low adiponectin levels might contribute to the alterations in blood rheology and tissue perfusion in patients with T2DM.
As an increase in membrane fluidity associated with SMPDL3B knockdown might affect the integrity of lipid rafts found on the cell surface, we measured the concentration of the raft marker GM1 ganglioside by flow cytometry.
Recent studies have suggested that a higher lipophilic index in plasma and adipose tissue, reflecting decreased FA fluidity, is associated with a higher risk of CHD [ 11, 12].
More obliquely, Splendour, an updated version of a Morgan play first seen in Edinburgh 15 years ago, is constructed as a complex stream of scenes from present, past and future, which create a narrative fluidity more usually associated with television or cinema.
A high lipophilic index, reflecting lower membrane fluidity, may be associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.
The dynamics of molecules in membranes (order parameter, degree of freedom of lipid aliphatic chains, lateral and rotational diffusions), often referred to as membrane fluidity, have been associated with modulation of the activity of many important functions of proteins in biological membranes (for a review, see 3).
It's based on lettering one might find in a comic book, but it has none of the fluidity you associate with the real thing".
Gill's most radical device is to apply the kind of temporal fluidity we associate with the cinema of Resnais and Antonioni to Welsh working-class life: the action moves between adult present and boyhood past with seamless ease.
Sterols are also associated with fluidity and permeability of eukaryotic cell membranes, and are key to fundamental eukaryotic-specific cellular processes such as phagocytosis [e.g. [ 1, 2]].
In particular, the organisation of transport networks in City-hubs, associated with their fluidity, their comfort and their eco-friendly characteristics plays a key role within a Smart City.
