Sphingomyelin (SM) is a ubiquitous sphingolipid com- ponent of cell membranes in vertebrate tissues. Like phos- phatidylcholine (PC), it has phosphorylcholine as the head group, its hydrophobic moieties being a long-chain or a very-long-chain fatty acid amide-bound to the long-chain

متن کاملDoxorubicin affects testicular lipids with long-chain (C18-C22) and very long-chain (C24-C32) polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Doxorubicin disrupts spermatogenesis by causing apoptosis of spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of this agent on adult rat testicular lipids and their fatty acids. A single dose (7.5 mg/kg) and a multidose regime (3 mg/kg once a week for 4 weeks) were evaluated. Both treatments resulted in the gradual loss of spermatogenic cells and determin...

Journal of Lipid Research Volume 52, 2011 245 Copyright © 2011 by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. Essential fatty acids, i.e., linoleic (C18:2n-6) and -linolenic acid (C18:3n-3), which are prerequisites for normal growth, development, and function in mammals, cannot be synthesized de novo and, as such, have to be derived from diet ( 1 ). Subsequently, the C18:2...
متن کاملIdentification and quantification of phosphatidylcholines containing very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid in bovine and human retina using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.
The retina is one of the vertebrate tissues with the highest content in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). A large proportion of retinal phospholipids, especially those found in photoreceptor membranes, are dipolyunsaturated molecular species. Among them, dipolyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PC) molecular species are known to contain very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFA) fro...
