Introduction

guidelines
PC(22:4(7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)/20:3(8Z,11Z,14Z)) is a phosphatidylcholine (PC or GPCho). It is a glycerophospholipid in which a phosphorylcholine moiety occupies a glycerol substitution site. As is the case with diacylglycerols, glycerophosphocholines can have many different combinations of fatty acids of varying lengths and saturation attached at the C-1 and C-2 positions. Fatty acids containing 16, 18 and 20 carbons are the most common. PC(22:4(7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)/20:3(8Z,11Z,14Z)), in particular, consists of one chain of adrenic acid at the C-1 position and one chain of homo-g-linolenic acid at the C-2 position. The adrenic acid moiety is derived from animal fats, while the homo-g-linolenic acid moiety is derived from fish oils, liver and kidney. Phospholipids, are ubiquitous in nature and are key components of the lipid bilayer of cells, as well as being involved in metabolism and signaling.
