Biochem/physiol Actions

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is known to be a bioactive molecule, associated with the progression of atherosclerosis, with findings of high concentration of LPC in the lesions/plaques. Higher levels of LPC are also found in oxidatively damaged low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) indicating cardiovascular disease. LPC is involved in various biological processes such as vascular reproduction, development and myelination. It is also known to be implicated in neuronal diseases and cancer.

General description

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is a polar lipid, localized to the cell membranes of oxidized lipoproteins.
