Redox-Mediated Regulations in Lipid Metabolic Disorders in Animals

Lipids, such as triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, and free fatty acids, play essential roles in digestive physiology in animals. Lipid dysregulations induce stress that disrupts homeostasis, thereby...

Membrane transports in plants responding to abiotic stress

The co-ordinated action of transport proteins on cellular membranes is essential to cellular and whole plant function and, ultimately, their adaptive responses to environment. The plasma membrane act as the ...
