TLDR
The detection of LPC by mass spectrometry is outlined which is currently the best method for accurate and simultaneous analysis of each individual LPC species and the pathophysiological implication is revealed which makes it an interesting target for biomarker and drug development regarding atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disorders.

An Updated Review of Lysophosphatidylcholine Metabolism in Human Diseases.

TL;DR: Understanding enzyme kinetics and LPC metabolism may help identify novel therapeutic targets in LPC-associated diseases, and address the coordination of these enzymes and the derangement that may disrupt LPC homeostasis, leading to metabolic disorders.

Particulate Matter Exposure and Stress Hormone Levels: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover Trial of Air Purification

TL;DR: It is suggested that higher PM may induce metabolic alterations that are consistent with activations of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal and sympathetic- adrenal-medullary axes, adding potential mechanistic insights into the adverse health outcomes associated with PM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolomic Analysis of Livers and Serum from High-Fat Diet Induced Obese Mice

TL;DR: A high-fat diet increased lipid metabolites but decreased lipid metabolism intermediates and the NAD/NADH ratio, indicating that abnormal lipid and energy metabolism induced by a high- fat diet resulted in fat accumulation via decreased β-oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma lipid profiling in a large population-based cohort

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed plasma lipid profiling using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry on a population cohort of more than 1,000 individuals and identified statistically significant associations of lipid classes, subclasses, and individual lipid species with anthropometric and physiological measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

An update of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in lipid research.

TL;DR: MALDI MS can be very easily combined with thin-layer chromatography (TLC) allowing the spatially-resolved screening of the entire TLC plate and the detection of lipids with a higher sensitivity than common staining protocols.

Modification of low density lipoprotein by endothelial cells involves lipid peroxidation and degradation of low density lipoprotein phospholipids

TL;DR: A complex process in which endothelial cells modify LDL by mechanisms involving generation of free radicals and action of phospholipase (s) is suggested, including degradation of phosphatidylcholine.
Book

Biochemistry of lipids, lipoproteins, and membranes

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the physical properties and functional Roles of Lipids in Membranes, as well as the Dynamics of Lipoprotein Transport in the Circulatory System.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimally modified low density lipoprotein stimulates monocyte endothelial interactions

TL;DR: It is concluded that exposure of EC to sublethal levels of MM-LDL enhances monocyte endothelial interactions and induces resistance to the toxic effects of MM -LDL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autotaxin has lysophospholipase D activity leading to tumor cell growth and motility by lysophosphatidic acid production.

TL;DR: The demonstration that ATX and lysoPLD are identical suggests that autocrine or paracrine production of LPA contributes to tumor cell motility, survival, and proliferation, and provides potential novel targets for therapy of pathophysiological states including cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptotic Cells Induce Migration of Phagocytes via Caspase-3-Mediated Release of a Lipid Attraction Signal

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that apoptotic cells secrete chemotactic factor(s) that stimulate the attraction of monocytic cells and primary macrophages and that lysophosphatidylcholine was released from apoptotic Cells due to the caspase-3 mediated activation of the calcium-independent phospholipase A(2).
