The influence of substituent size, polarity, and location on the thermotropic properties of synthetic phosphatidylcholines has been studied by Menger et al. [18], The effect of increasing membrane curvature on the phase transition has been investigated by DSC and FTIR [19]. In addition, a data bank, LIPIDAT, on lipid phase transition temperatures and enthalpy changes is available [20, 21],...

The sequence of bovine ADPH was determined from its cDNA (Gen-bank accession number AJ011680) the bovine protein is 87 and 80% identical to human and mouse ADPH, respectively (Nielsen et al., 1999). Surprisingly, ADPH does not have an extensive contiguous sequence of hydrophobic amino acids. About half of the 50 N-terminal residues are nonpolar. McMa-naman et al. (2003) found that the lipid-targeting domain of ADPH is in a presumptive u-helical region between residues 189 and 205 of the mouse protein (Figure 4.9). 

Milk fat contains a number of different lipids, but is predominately made up of triacylglycerols (TAG) (98%). The remaining lipids are diacylglycerols (DAG), monoacylglycerols (MAG), phospholipids, free fatty acids (FFA) and sterols. Milk fat contains over 250 different fatty acids, but 15 of these make up approximately 95% of the total (Banks, 1991) the most important are shown in Table 19.1. The unique aspect of bovine, ovine and caprine milk fat, in comparison to vegetable oils, is the presence of high levels of short-chain volatile FFAs (SCFFA), which have a major impact on the flavor/aroma of dairy products. Most cheeses are produced from either bovine, ovine or caprine milk and the differences of their FFA profile are responsible for the characteristic flavor of cheeses produced from such milks (Ha and Lindsay, 1991).

The mentioned data management systems are only first steps toward comprehensive lipid databases and global lipid networks. An example for such a data bank is LIPIDMAPS (http //www.lipidmaps.org), which covers structures and annotations of biologically relevant lipids (43). The structures originate from the core laboratories of the LIPIDMAPS consortium and their partners. In this database, users can search the LIPID MAPS proteome database using either text-based or structure-based search options. In addition to LIPIDMAPS, other databases in Europe (http //www.lipidomics.net) and Japan (http //www.lipidbank.jp) have been initiated. 

Metabolomics has made remarkable inroads into the environmental research community. Here, a major emphasis is to understand the impact that environmental stress, such as pollution and climate change, has on wildlife. Indeed, many government organizations monitor the prevalence of pollutants in certain species of wildlife as indicators of the exposure risk within the environment. Studies of Japanese medaka have been conducted to investigate the effects of trichloroethylene, a common environmental pollutant, and the pesticide dinoseb, on the development of fish embryos (44, 45). Similarly, cadmium toxicity has been examined in the bank vole and rat and has revealed changes in lipid metabolism that preceded classical nephrotoxicity (46, 47). Another study investigated the effects of environmental toxins on earthworms (48). In particular, the analysis of earthworm tissue extracts by NMR spectroscopy identified maltose as a potential biomarker for ecotoxicity within a metal-contaminated site.
