Possible Interaction: Phospholipids and Palmitoleic Acid

“The total lipid and phospholipid contents in the tumor cells treated with PLOA were significantly decreased.”

“Chromatograms of macrophages which were grown in the presence of a variety of fatty acids demonstrated that exogenously supplied unsaturated fatty acids palmitoleic , oleic, elaidic, linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acids) were readily incorporated into the cells and selectively altered the fatty acyl composition of macrophage phospholipids.”

“Interestingly, wild-type cells supplemented with either C14:1 or C16:1 fatty acids displayed dramatic alterations in their phospholipid composition , suggesting that the availability of acyl chains is a dominant determinant of the phospholipid class composition of cellular membranes.”
