Abstract
Plasmalogens represent approximately 20% of all phospholipids in human cell membranes. Plasmalogens are phospholipids in which the two side-chains are connected to the glycerol backbone via a vinyl ether linkage at the sn-1 position, and an ester linkage, mostly to Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), at sn-2 position. Although studies have demonstrated the protective effects of plasmalog…
