The document outlines a 10 step program for effectively using PowerPoint presentations. The steps include having compelling material, keeping the presentation simple with minimal slides and text, timing remarks, using appropriate fonts and backgrounds, importing images and graphics, distributing handouts, and ruthlessly editing the presentation before presenting. The overall message is to make PowerPoint enhance the presentation without overshadowing the speaker or content.

45. Fatty acid-binding protein (FABPs) belong to a family of intracellular lipid binding proteins of low molecular mass (14–15 kDa) with the putative general function of lipid trafficking ( 1 ). The precise physiological functions of these proteins are as yet unclear, but it is hypothesized that they are important in intracellular transport and targeting of FA to specific membranous organelles and metabolic pathways. Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein is abundantly produced in the enterocyte, where a second fatty acid-binding protein (FABP), liver FABP (LFABP), is also highly expressed ( 2 ) Fatty Acid binding proteins

52. Sphingolipid and cholesterol cause distinct phase to form in pure lipid mixtures containing phospholipid with saturated fatty acid chains Mix DOPC (unsat’d) or DPPC (sat’d) at different ratios, with sphingolipid +/- cholesterol, at 23 o C or 37 o C. Assay by fluorescence quenching of marker that only sees sol phase lipid. Phase separation indicated by break in slope of quenching curves. Unsaturated fatty acids inhibit 2nd phase. See 2 nd phase at 23 o C with increasing DPPC . Need cholesterol to obtain 2nd phase at 37 o C. Cholesterol promotes 2 nd phase formation
