Serum Phospholipids
نویسنده
چکیده
Serum phospholipid levels were determined in 1,067 healthy persons aged 2 to 77 years. Phospholipid levels increased with age but in a different way for each of the sexes. The age-sex changes of serum phospholipids were similar to those observed for serum cholesterol. Correlation coefficients in members of 156 families indicated that the genetic factor is of importance in determining the serum phospholipid level in health. Because of the age-sex variations of serum phospholipid and serum cholesterol levels, no single arbitrary line can be drawn between normal and abnormally elevated levels of these 2 serum lipid fractions.

Serum phospholipids determined without acid digestion.
A method for determination of phospholipids in serum is described that involves complexing intact phospholipids with chromogenic reagent, thus eliminating the need for acid digestion, which is a mandatory step in all the current procedures for phospholipid analysis. Inorganic phosphorus and other serum components do not interfere in the determination. Excellent agreement between results of this...
متن کاملHigh Levels of Both n-3 and n-6 Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Cord Serum Phospholipids Predict Allergy Development
BACKGROUND Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) reduce T-cell activation and dampen inflammation. They might thereby counteract the neonatal immune activation and hamper normal tolerance development to harmless environmental antigens. We investigated whether fatty acid composition of cord serum phospholipids affects allergy development up to age 13 years. METHODS From a population...
متن کاملThe Stabilization of Serum Lipid Emulsions by Serum Phospholipids
Clarity of high lipid sera is closely correlated with elevated proportions of serum phospholipids, and lipemia (milkiness) with low proportions of phospholipids. Clear high lipid sera occur uniquely in obstructive jaundice, both intra- and extrahepatic in origin. Destruction of the polar nature of serum "lecithin" by enzymatic hydrolysis, using Cl. welchii lecithinase, results in a degree of li...
متن کاملThe Phospholipid and Phospholipid Fatty Acid Composition of Human Serum Lipoprotein Fractions*
Previous studies on human serum phospholipids have dealt with concentration in whole serum (l-3). With the introduction of the concept of lipoproteins (4) and lipoprotein classes (5) it became of interest to study the phospholipids of serum as structural units of these macromolecules. Whereas there is now agreement on the relative proportions of the phospholipid species in whole serum, it has n...
