The anaerobic biosynthesis of plasmalogens [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2017 The biosynthesis of plasmalogens in anaerobic bacteria differs fundamentally from that in animal cells. Firstly, the formation of the alk‐1′‐enyl ether bond in animal cells is oxygen dependent. Secondly, the first step in plasmalogen formation in animal cells is an acylation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which has been ruled out as a precursor in ...

Plasmalogen in the Developing Brain.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1959 SummaryPlasmalogen content in brains of newborn rats is about 2 μmoles/g of wet tissue and represents about 10% of total phospholipid. During growth, and after major increase in brain weight, phospholipid composition shifts to one containing about 20 to 25% plasmalogen (12 μmoles/g). Maximal rate of accumulation of plasmalogen in brain occurs in 20- to

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Background: Plasmalogens have been shown to improve neurodegenerative pathology and cognitive function. We hypothesized that plasmalogens work in small amounts as a kind of hormone interacting with a G protein-coupled receptor, and then explored the ...

LC/MS analysis of storage-induced plasmalogen loss in ready-to-eat fish [PDF]
, 2022 Plasmalogens are functional and oxidation-sensitive phospholipids abundant in fish. Chilling and freezing are common storage methods for maintaining the quality of fish, but their effect on plasmalogen preservation has not been studied.

The biochemistry of plasmalogens: II. Hemolytic activity of some plasmalogen derivatives
Journal of Lipid Research, 1963 A series of lysophosphatides was prepared from the plasmalogens phosphatidal choline and phosphatidal ethanolamine, and their hemolytic activity compared with that of α-palmitoyl lysolecithin. The nature of the linkage of the hydrocarbon chain (acyl ester, α,β-unsaturated ether, or alkyl ether) did not appreciably affect lytic activity. Unsaturation in

Regulation of Phagocytosis in Macrophages by Membrane Ethanolamine Plasmalogens
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Macrophages, as professional phagocytes of the immune system, possess the ability to detect and clear invading pathogens and apoptotic cells through phagocytosis.

Plasmalogens and phosphatides of rat diaphragm after incubation with palmitate- 1 -C14 in vitro*†
Journal of Lipid Research, 1962 Ethanolamine-containing plasmalogen was found to be the major type of plasmalogen in rat diaphragm. The molar ratio of total plasmalogen to total phosphatide phosphorus was 0.09.

Biology of Sex Differences, 2023 Background We have previously reported that maternal obesity reduces placental transport capacity for lysophosphatidylcholine-docosahexaenoic acid (LPC-DHA), a preferred form for transfer of DHA (omega 3) to the fetal brain, but only in male fetuses ...

, 1998 Plasmalogens are ether-glycerophospholipids that exist in all mammalian cells, but their physiological function remains thus far an enigma. It has been previously suggested that the association of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) with cellular phospholipid
