The tissue was dried by grinding with anhydrous sodium sulfate and extracted with several volumes of hexane to remove carotenoids, retinols, and retinyl esters.
Lipid hydrolysis was also detected by measuring lipase activity with glycerol ester as substrate.
Using a photo fragmentation process that breaks an ester bond we demonstrate the system's ability to produce simple lipids (carboxyl acid).
The next system on the energy scale is an amide ester.
Synthetic standard benzyl esters were prepared via the tetrabutylammonium salts on a preparative scale.
Phorbol esters stimulate macropinocytosis and solute flow through macrophages.
This gives the best resolution of methyl esters.
Isoform-specific tissue distribution and differential processing in response to phorbol ester.
