Biological Activity
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is a bioactive molecule involved in various biological processes such as vascular reproductiondevelopment and myelination. It is associated to the progression of atherosclerosiswith findings of high concentration of LPC in the lesions/plaques. Higher levels of LPC are also found in oxidatively damaged low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) indicating cardiovascular disease. LPC is known to be implicated in neuronal diseases and cancer.
