Supplementation of cultured human pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC) with sn-1-O-hexadecylglycerol (HG) resulted in an approximately twofold increase in cellular levels of plasmalogens, a subclass of phospholipids known to have antioxidant properties; this was due, primarily, to a fourfold increase

The results of this study suggest that reperfusion of ischemic myocardium may lead to the peroxisomal disorder both functionally and biochemically. An alkyl glycerol such as chimyl alcohol can protect the ischemic heart from the reperfusion injury probably by enhancing

To gain insight into the role of alkyl-linked lipids in biological systems, we added hexadecylglycerol (a precursor of complex ether-linked lipids) to medium required for the growth of L-M cells in culture. L-M fibroblasts cultured through several generations in the
Studies have been conducted on the uptake and metabolism of unesterified fatty acid, free glycerol and 1-hexadecyl glyceryl ether by rat cardiac myocytes, and of fatty acid, intact triglyceride and the glyceryl ether by perfused rat hearts. Cardiac myocytes efficiently
Biotransformation of rac-1(3)-O-hexadecylglycerol by photomixotrophic rape (Brassica napus) cells in suspension culture leads to 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines and small proportions of other ether lipids, e.g. 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamines. Reaction of the hexadecylacyl-glycerophosphocholines with ethanolamine in the presence of phospholipase D from Streptomyces chromofuscus yields
