Plasmalogens in arterial wall
Abstract:
Plasmalogens have been determined in blood plasma, arterial and myocardial tissue of rats intubated with an atherogenic diet (vitamin D2 + cholesterol). These lipids are significantly decreased in arterial tissue after the administration of these substances for 5 consecutive days. Folic acid involved in the synthesis of plasmalogens and a powerful inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, on the contrary, increases enormously the concentration of plasmalogens in arterial tissue even with an atherogenic diet.
