Tracking of secretory phospholipase A2 enzyme activity levels from childhood to adulthood: a 21-year cohort. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) enzyme activity is a potential inflammatory biomarker for cardiovascular disease. We examined the tracking, or persistence, of sPLA2 enzyme activity levels from childhood to adulthood, and identify ...

Structural Elements Of Lipidic Inhibitors Of Phospholipase A2 [PDF]
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) are a family of enzymes that release fatty acids from phospholipids and play varied and important roles in the biology of all organisms. Secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) are the largest subfamily of PLA2.
