Cooperative behavior of ganglioside molecules in model systems.

Abstract:

:A concise discussion of the role of different geometrical conformational states in the process of self-assembling of gangliosides is given. The report focuses on the effects of the geometrical variations occurring in the head group region of gangliosides as reflected on the geometrical properties of the whole assembly. Collective phenomena happening at the water interfacial region are found to be coupled to the phase transition of the lipid moiety, that is, to the well-known order-disorder conformational transition involving the hydrophobic tails. The possible biological relevance of the head group bistability is envisaged.

  • Dietary lithium during development: changes in amino acid levels, ionic content, and [3H]spiperone binding in the brain of rats.

    abstract::We found that chronic lithium diet affects the sensitivity of neuroleptic receptors and the content of amino acids in the brain, and that the changes in adult animals differ from those in young rats. Pregnant rats were kept on lithium diet (pellets with 0.21% Li2CO3 and 0.21% NaCl) during the gestation period and the ...
