1- (1 (Z) -Hexadecenyl) -2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-Phosphocholine

1- (1 (Z) -Hexadecenyl) -2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a plasmalogen characterized by the presence of 1 (Z) -hexadecenoic acid and linoleic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively. It counteracts lead-induced reductions in cell viability and suppresses increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidized phospholipids in HepG2 hepatocytes. In dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease, serum levels of this compound decrease when their diet is enriched with medium chain triglycerides, fish oil, carnitine precursors, magnesium, and antioxidants.
