Phosphatidylcholine content in soybean: Genetic variability and the effect of growing year
Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2022 Information on the genetic variability of phosphatidylcholine (PC) content in soybean (Glycine max L.) is scanty. In the present investigation, estimation of PC content in 408 soybean accessions from 15 countries revealed a range of 2.04-8.80 mg/g soy ...

Lipidomic Analyses Reveal Specific Alterations of Phosphatidylcholine in Dystrophic Mdx Muscle
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), lack of dystrophin increases the permeability of myofiber plasma membranes to ions and larger macromolecules, disrupting calcium signaling and leading to progressive muscle wasting. Although the biological origin and

The Lysophospholipase PNPLA7 Controls Hepatic Choline and Methionine Metabolism
Biomolecules, 2023 The in vivo roles of lysophospholipase, which cleaves a fatty acyl ester of lysophospholipid, remained unclear. Recently, we have unraveled a previously unrecognized physiological role of the lysophospholipase PNPLA7, a member of the Ca2+-independent ...
