Dynamic changes and importance of plasma concentrations of ether phospholipids, of which the majority are plasmalogens, in postpartum Holstein dairy cows
Abstract:Context Ethanolamine plasmalogens (EPls) and choline plasmalogens (CPls) are classes of ethanolamine ether phospholipids (ePE) and choline ether phospholipids (ePC), respectively. EPls play crucial roles in maternal and breastfed infant bodies and stimulate gonadotropin secretion by gonadotrophs. Aims To estimate changes in and importance of plasma concentrations of EPls and CPls, utilising newly developed enzymatic fluorometric assays for ePE and ePC in postpartum Holstein cows. Methods Plasma s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
