Development and application of a comparative fatty acid analysis method to investigate voriconazole-induced hepatotoxicity.

Clin. Chim. Acta 438 , 126-34, (2014)

As fatty acids play an important role in biological regulation, the profiling of fatty acid expression has been used to discover various disease markers and to understand disease mechanisms. This study developed an effective and accurate comparative fatty aci...

An efficient and economical MTT assay for determining the antioxidant activity of plant natural product extracts and pure compounds.

J. Nat. Prod. 73 , 1193-5, (2010)

Antioxidants scavenge free radicals, singlet oxygen, and electrons in cellular redox reactions. The yellow MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced to a purple formazan by mitochondrial enzymes. NADPH is the basis of esta...

Chain Length of Free Fatty Acids Influences the Phase Behavior of Stratum Corneum Model Membranes.

Langmuir 31 , 11621-9, (2015)

The skin, the largest organ of the human body, forms a flexible interface between our internal and external environment that protects our organism from exogenous compounds as well as excessive water loss. The stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of mamma...

Lipidomics reveals a remarkable diversity of lipids in human plasma.

J. Lipid Res. 51(11) , 3299-305, (2010)

The focus of the present study was to define the human plasma lipidome and to establish novel analytical methodologies to quantify the large spectrum of plasma lipids. Partial lipid analysis is now a regular part of every patient's blood test and physicians r...
