Identification of prostamides, fatty acyl ethanolamines, and their biosynthetic precursors in rabbit cornea.

J. Lipid Res. 56 , 1419-33, (2015)

Arachidonoyl ethanolamine (anandamide) and pros-taglandin ethanolamines (prostamides) are biologically active derivatives of arachidonic acid. Although available through different precursor phospholipids, there is considerable overlap between the biosynthetic...

A role for oleoylethanolamide in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Leukemia 28(7) , 1381-7, (2014)

Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is a bioactive lipid that stimulates nuclear and G protein-coupled receptors and regulates appetite and fat metabolism. It has not previously been shown to have a role in cancer. However, a mass spectrometry-based lipidomics platform ...

Analysis of methanol or formic acid in body fluids by headspace solid-phase microextraction and capillary gas chromatography.

J. Chromatogr. B. Biomed. Sci. Appl. 734(1) , 155-62, (1999)

Methanol and its metabolite formic acid have been found extractable from human whole blood and urine by headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with a Carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber. The headspace SPME for formic acid was carried out after derivatiz...

Trapping and desorption of complex organic molecules in water at 20 K.

J. Chem. Phys. 143 , 164704, (2015)

The formation, chemical, and thermal processing of complex organic molecules (COMs) is currently a topic of much interest in interstellar chemistry. The isomers glycolaldehyde, methyl formate, and acetic acid are particularly important because of their role a...

Growth of Candida boidinii on methanol and the activity of methanol-degrading enzymes as affected from formaldehyde and methylformate.

J. Biotechnol. 80(2) , 119-25, (2000)

Formaldehyde and methylformate affect the growth of Candida boidinii on methanol and the activity of methanol-degrading enzymes. The presence of both intermediates in the feeding medium caused an increase in biomass yield and productivity and a decrease in th...
