Comparison between the AA/EPA ratio in depressed and non depressed elderly females: omega-3 fatty acid supplementation correlates with improved symptoms but does not change immunological parametersAngela Maria Rizzo
Dipartimento di Scienze Farmacologiche e Biomolecolari, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Via D, Trentacoste 2, Milan 20134, Italy
Nutr J 11:82. 2012..Our objective was to evaluate whether a supplement containing n-3 PUFA improves depressive symptoms in depressed elderly patients, and whether the blood fatty acid pattern is correlated with these changes...- Effects of long-term space flight on erythrocytes and oxidative stress of rodentsAngela Maria Rizzo
Dipartimento di Scienze Molecolari Applicate ai Biosistemi, DISMAB, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy
PLoS ONE 7:e32361. 2012..Future experiments should provide information helpful to reduce the effects of oxidative stress exposure and space anemia, possibly by integrating appropriate dietary elements and natural compounds that could act as antioxidants... - Effects of n-3 PUFAs on breast cancer cells through their incorporation in plasma membranePaola A Corsetto
Dipartimento di Scienze Molecolari Applicate ai Biosistemi, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Italy
Lipids Health Dis 10:73. 2011..The question that remains to be answered is how n-3 PUFAs can affect so many physiological processes. We hypothesize that n-3 PUFAs alter membrane stability, modifying cellular signalling in breast cancer cells... - A rapid method for determining arachidonic:eicosapentaenoic acid ratios in whole blood lipids: correlation with erythrocyte membrane ratios and validation in a large Italian population of various ages and pathologiesAngela M Rizzo
Dipartimento di Scienze Molecolari Applicate ai Biosistemi, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Italy
Lipids Health Dis 9:7. 2010..The determination of RBC phospholipid LCPUFA contents and ratios is the method of choice for assessing fatty acid status but it is labour intensive and time consuming... 
Antioxidant defences in hydrated and desiccated states of the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus richtersiAngela M Rizzo
Dipartimento di Scienze Molecolari Applicate ai Biosistemi, DISMAB, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Via D Trentacoste, 220134 Milan, Italy
Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol 156:115-21. 2010..These results indicate that the possession of antioxidant metabolism could represent a crucial strategy to avoid damages during desiccation in anhydrobiotic tardigrades...- Simulated microgravity induce glutathione antioxidant pathway in Xenopus laevis embryosAngela M Rizzo
Dipartimento di Scienze Molecolari Applicate ai Biosistemi, DISMAB, Via D Trentacoste 2, I 20134 Milano, Italy
Cell Biol Int 33:893-8. 2009..An induction of antioxidant defence might play an important role for animals to adapt to micro-gravitational stress, possibly during actual space flights... 
Antioxidant metabolism in Xenopus laevis embryos is affected by stratospheric balloon flightAngela M Rizzo
Institute of General Physiology and Biochemistry G Esposito, University of Milan, Via D Trentacoste 2, 20134 Milan, Italy
Cell Biol Int 31:716-23. 2007..These preliminary data demonstrate that flight on a stratospheric balloon might affect antioxidant metabolism, though it is not yet possible to correlate these results with low radiation exposure during flight...- Antioxidant metabolism of Xenopus laevis embryos during the first days of developmentAngela M Rizzo
Institute of General Physiology and Biochemistry G Esposito, University of Milan, Via D Trentacoste 2 I 20134 Milan, Italy
Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol 146:94-100. 2007.... - Effects of microgravity and hypergravity on early development stages of Xeonopus laevisA M Rizzo
Institute of General Physiology and Biochemistry, University of Milan, Milan, Italy
J Gravit Physiol 9:P207-8. 2002..Embryos exposed to 3xg during the first 3 days of development are very sensitive and show a retard of development, with a lower content of DNA, neutral glycolipids and gangliosides compared to controls... - Effect of ethanol exposure on Xenopus embryo lipid compositionC Lindi
Institute of General Physiology and Biochemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Milan, Italy
Alcohol Alcohol 36:388-92. 2001..The cultured embryo method certainly represents a useful model for investigation of the direct effects of ethanol on lipid metabolism, excluding maternal interference which can lead to misinterpretation of data... - Exogenous sphingosine enters Xenopus laevis embryos grown in petri dishes and it is metabolizedA M Rizzo
Institute of General Physiology and Biochemistry, University of Milan, Italy
Biosci Rep 21:719-31. 2001..This phospholipid was produced mainly in the intestine and in the skin, while sphingomyelin was the main radioactive lipid in the heart, liver and brain... - Effect of ethanol amine plasmalogens on Fe-induced peroxidation of arachidonic acid in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesiclesM F Omodeo Salè
Istituto di Fisiologia Generale e Chimica Biologica, Facolta di Farmacia, Milano, Italy
Biol Pharm Bull 23:1410-3. 2000..4. The possibility that a different phase distribution of the phospholipids, namely a transition from a lamellar to a hexagonal phase, may play a role in the scavenger effect of ethanolamine plasmalogens is discussed... - Atomic force microscopy imaging of lipid rafts of human breast cancer cellsF Orsini
Dipartimento di Fisica, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Italy
Biochim Biophys Acta 1818:2943-9. 2012..In addition, an AFM study using specific antibodies suggests the presence, in these micro-domains, of a characteristic marker of lipid rafts, the protein flotillin-1...
