Plasmalogens are a specific type of glycerophospholipid found in especially high levels in
neuronal membranes. Decreased blood and brain levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) …

A critical factor involved in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related
dementias is the decline of plasmalogens, a key glycerophospholipid required for normal …

Ether phospholipid compositions are altered in the plasma or brain of patients with brain
disorders, such as Alzheimer and Parkinson's disease, including those with psychiatric …

Plasmalogens are a class of membrane glycerophospholipids with unique properties. They
contain a vinyl-ether linked alkyl chain at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone and …

Neurodegeneration is a pathological condition in which nervous system or neuron losses its
structure, function, or both leading to progressive neural degeneration. Growing evidence …

Background Plasmalogens are ether phospholipids required for normal mammalian
developmental, physiological, and cognitive functions. They have been proposed to act as …

Plasmalogens or alkenylphospholipids are a sub-class of glycerophospholipids with
numerous biological functions and are thought to have protective effects against metabolic …

Introduction Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and DHA-containing ethanolamine
plasmalogens (PlsEtn) are decreased in the brain, liver and the circulation in Alzheimer's …

Plasmalogens are unique glycerophospholipids because they have an enol ether double
bond at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone. They are found in all mammalian tissues …

Background: Plasmalogens, which are key structural phospholipids in brain membranes, are
decreased in the brain and serum of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). We performed …
