General description

DMAs are an indirect marker of levels of plasmalogens in plasma and may be used as standards for quantitation of plasmalogen in biological samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dimethylacetals functions as an indirect marker of levels of plasmalogens, endogenous antioxidants. It plays a major part in oxidative protection and cholesterol homeostasis. Dimethylacetal may be used as standards for quantitation of plasmalogen in biological samples.

Packaging
