Phospholipids. 4. On the composition of hen's egg phospholipids*

Egg Phospholipids and Cardiovascular Health

Eggs are a major source of phospholipids (PL) in the Western diet. Dietary PL have emerged as a potential source of bioactive lipids that may have widespread effects on pathways related to inflammation, cholesterol metabolism, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) function. Based on pre-clinical studies, egg phosphatidylcholine (PC) and sphingomyelin appear to regulate cholesterol absorption and i...

Selective Extraction of Phospholipids from Egg Yolk with Supercritical Co2

It is well known that supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) is very efficient to remove neutral lipids from a variety of matrices, such as plant seeds [1]. The valuable, polar phospholipids (PL) remain behind, which is ascribed to their limited solubility in SC-CO2 [2]. Typically, they are extracted by adding a polar modifier such as methanol or ethanol to the supercritical fluid (SC-fluid) [2-4]. In a re...

Fatty Acid Composition of Human Follicular Fluid Phospholipids and Fertilization Rate in Assisted Reproductive Techniques

Background: Fatty acids are known to be critically important in multiple biological functions. Phospholipid fatty acids of follicular fluid, an important microenvironment for the development of oocytes, may contribute to the women’s fertility and the efficacy of assisted reproduction techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fatty acid composition of follicular fluid ph...

Effects of 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene on Hepatic Microsomal Phospholipids.

portion, consisting of fragments of the endoplasmic reticu lum, contain a higher proportion of phospholipids than any of the other cell fractions (6). In addition to phos pholipids, the microsomes are high in RNA, are the pri mary sites of protein synthesis within the cell, and may be more significantly affected by carcinogenic agents than the other cell components. Arcos and Arcos (1) observed...
