Nuclear membrane Β―uidity is measured in rat liver by use of the Β―uorescence anisotropy of two probes: diphenylhexatriene and its cationic derivative trimethylammonium-diphenylhexatriene. It has been shown that, in 2-monthold rat liver cells, the bilayer surface is less Β―uid than the hydrophobic core
## Abstract Developing a method for isolating skate (__Raja erinacea__) basolateral liver plasma membranes, as well as characterizing the lipid composition and fluidity of these membranes, was the primary purpose of this study. Membranes were isolated using selfβgenerating Percoll gradients. Marker
Mechanisms of alcoholic liver disease are still ill defined. We evaluated in two outbred lines of mice whether chronic ingestion of ethanol alters the lipid composition and/or enzyme activity of liver plasma membranes. Two mouse lines with different sensitivities towards the hypnotic effect of ethan
