Perturbations in lipid homeostasis combined with conditions favoring oxidative stress
constitute a hallmark of the inflammatory response. In this review we focus on the most …

Due to their unique chemical structure, plasmalogens do not only exhibit distinct biophysical
and biochemical features, but require specialized pathways of biosynthesis and …

Aging increases oxidative and inflammatory stress caused by a reduction in metabolism and
clearance, thus leading to the development of age-associated diseases. The quality of our …

Glycerophospholipids are major components of cell membranes and consist of a glycerol
backbone esterified with one of over 30 unique fatty acids at each of the sn-1 and sn-2 …

Conspectus Water-soluble proteins as well as membrane-bound proteins associate with
membrane surfaces and bind specific lipid molecules in specific sites on the protein …

Central nervous system (CNS) trauma, including traumatic brain injury and spinal cord
injury, has a high rate of disability and mortality, and effective treatment is currently lacking …

In this work, the incorporation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in mouse resident peritoneal
macrophages and its redistribution within the various phospholipid classes were …

Plasmalogens are a unique family of cellular glycerophospholipids that contain a vinyl-ether
bond. Synthesis of plasmalogens is initiated in peroxisomes and completed in the …

Plasmalogen is a major phospholipid of mammalian cell membranes. Recently it is
becoming evident that the sn-1 vinyl-ether linkage in plasmalogen, contrasting to the ester …

The sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus, being a target species of commercial fisheries
