HEPATIC LIPID SIGNATURES OF LITTLE BROWN BATS (MYOTIS LUCIFUGUS) AND BIG BROWN BATS (EPTESICUS FUSCUS) AT EARLY STAGES OF WHITE-NOSE SYNDROME

Hepatic lipid signatures of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) and big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) at early stages of white-nose syndrome

Abstract White-nose syndrome (WNS) is an emergent wildlife fungal disease of cave-dwelling, hibernating bats that has led to unprecedented mortalities throughout North America.A primary factor in WNS-associated bat mortality includes increased arousals from torpor and premature fat depletion during winter months.Details of species and sex-specific

Properties of an apolipoprotein E-enriched fraction of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins isolated from human blood plasma with a monoclonal antibody to apolipoprotein B-100.

A monoclonal antibody to apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 (JI-H) with unique binding properties has been used to separate a population of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from blood plasma of normotriglyceridemic individuals and patients with various forms of hypertriglyceridemia.This antibody fails to recognize an apoE-rich population of very low density
