Sentence examples for membrane fluidity due from inspiring English sources

Two-photon Laurdan Generalized Polarization (GP) reports on local changes in membrane water content (related to membrane fluidity) due to protein binding or lipid removal from a given lipid domain.

The increased glutamine concentration in aqueous soluble extracts of liver tissues resulted from the cytosolic accumulation of glutamine, which was due to defective GSH transport from the cytosol into the mitochondria, as a result of decreased membrane fluidity due to the decreased content of unsaturated fatty acids in cellular membranes [14, 26].

One would expect that a deleterious effect on growth would result from a change in membrane fluidity due to a drop of total unsaturated FAs.

Enhanced production of the carotenoid staphyloxanthin (giving aureus its golden title) has been proposed as a mechanism to relieve the inhibitory effects of increased membrane fluidity due to insertion of LC-uFFAs into the lipid bilayer in S. aureus [26] [28].

These results suggested that strain CM4A simultaneously exposed to butanol and alkali stresses was not likely able to properly adjust membrane fluidity due to the opposite response to each stress and thereby showed low butanol tolerance under alkaline pH.

Other models which appear to be dominant in some situations include; a specific calcium channel opening in the plasma membrane due to heat-induced changes in membrane fluidity, lipid signaling due to membrane fluidity changes and ROS signaling, particularly the respiratory burst mediated by a plasma membrane NADP oxidase.

Presumably, SCFAs, such as octanoic acid, impact the membrane fluidity and integrity due to their partial solubility within the membrane (Kamp and Hamilton 2006; Walter and Gutknecht 1984).

Furthermore, the alteration in the membrane composition and fluidity due to increased cholesterol content could provide an explanation for these signalling alterations [ 42, 49].

The susceptibility of flagellum-deficient mutants to SP-A could be due to changes in membrane fluidity and rigidity, or due to the loss of motility function.

According to Peddie [ 13], when temperature is elevated, the concentration of esters produced during the fermentation is also increased due to increasing membrane fluidity.

Moreover, chronic alcohol consumption has been shown to inhibit production of liver prostaglandins, and UDCA treatment restored expression of prostaglandin E and increased linoleoyl-CoA desaturase activity in alcohol-treated rat livers possibly due to enhanced membrane fluidity.
