Composition of alkoxylipids of human heart and aorta

Abstract

The major alkoxylipids of human heart and aorta are alkyl and alk-1-enyl diacyl glycerols, alkyl acyl and alk-1-enyl acyl glycerophosphoryl cholines, and the corresponding glycerophosphoryl ethanolamines. There are no pronounced differences in the composition of corresponding classes of alkoxylipids from heart, aorta, and other human tissues previously reported.
